Beat Priorities

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

  • ASB on Rushford Park,Rushford Drive,Wollaton Show details
    At a recent LAG meeting held on 09/03/2010, you told us that you were concerned about groups of young males and females starting to congregate on the Park after hours. As the Park is not secured by NCC.This has periodically been a problem for some time. The Council have refused to lock the gates during the evenings. The Park is currently undergoing a refurbishment and this could attract more groups as the lighter nights approach. Residents raised concerns regarding possible Anti Social Behaviour.

    Our Response
    OUR RESPONSE

    ·We will increase uniform presence from Police and our partners at Community Protection by patrolling these areas.

    ·We will direct Patrols to the area using intelligence led policing.

    ·We will respond to calls in relation to anti social behaviour on a more frequent basis and attend as urgent (60 minutes) or immediate (15 minutes) dependant upon the severity of the behaviour at the time.

    ·Where individuals are seen and spoken to on the street all information will be passed to our partners at community protection and Housing for action.
