Neighbourhood Priorities

Through consultation with the members of the public in this neighbourhood we regularly set out a number of priorities to be tackled.

Drugs Show details
Representatives from all areas within this beat cluster attended a Local Area Group meeting on 31st August, in order to set the priorities for the following three months. Neighbourhood Priority Surveys have been used to collect the opinions, beliefs and concerns of the residents across the beat cluster this being Porchester, Valley, Carlton Hill, Carlton, Netherfield and Colwick. Further information has also been gathered through surgeries and house to house/business visits to ensure that Policing priorities reflect and address the issues specific to the community.

Have your say complete an online survey - this shapes the way that we will decide our future priorities.

There have been increased reports of drug dealing taking place in the areas as below. There is no specific pattern to this problem, however there is a belief that drugs are being dealt at these locations at all times of the day particularly early afternoon onwards on all days of the week. The increase of youths in these areas, creates a general fear of crime and as such public confidence decreases.

Various locations have been identified throughout the beat cluster:

Carlton Hill ward – The Brickyard area including Standhill Road and Brick Kiln Way, Carlton.
Valley ward – Cavendish Road and the footpath leading to Foxhill Road

Our Response
High Profile Patrols are to be conducted in these areas and stop checks and searches will be carried out where appropriate. These patrols will hopefully reduce the calls being received and in turn prevent and detect offences.
Intelligence received via Crimestoppers and the community will be acted upon and warrants will be executed.
Offenders will be prosecuted if found in possession of drugs.

For information on the problem solving work that has been carried out on this priority, please see the relevant beat page which is updated monthly. This priority will be re-assessed in December 2011.
