St Ann's and Sneinton

The St Ann's and Sneinton Neighbourhood Policing Area covers the neighbouring inner city areas of St Ann's and Sneinton to the east of Nottingham city centre.

Both areas have multi-cultural communities. St Ann's has one of the highest proportions of black people in the City of Nottingham, while Sneinton has a large Pakistani community.

There are also a number of well-known local landmarks, including Green's Windmill and Science Centre, the birthplace of Salvation Army founder William Booth and the Grade 2 listed St Ann's Allotment Gardens.

Neighbourhood Priorities

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

Group Related Anti - Social Behaviour Hermitage Square Show details
Hermitage Square and immediate locality.

Residents living within the Sneinton Hermitage beat have reported to the Police and Partner agencies that they felt not enough was being done to target group related anti-social behaviour in their neighbourhood. The community have reported that they feel intimidated and threatened by these groups and as a result have not been able to go about their normal lives, and are even scared to leave their homes.
Residents also complained about an increase in incidents of criminal damage to property and vehicles and also incidents of overt drug dealing and they felt too scared to challenge offenders or report occurrences to the police.
The Hermitage Public House has also been identified as a focal point for problem elements to gather, and residents highlighted breaches of the licensing agreement both inside and outside the premises.
Residents have noticed the seasonal nature of this issue and this is supported by police data regarding anti-social behaviour. However incidents are occurring year round, with the main spike in the summer period, and they take place in the evening from 1700hrs in the winter months right though to 0400hrs in the summer months, with more occurring towards weekends.
These reports from the community are supported from data produced by the Crime and Drugs Partnership, and from information received by Local Councillors, at Local Issue Group Meetings, Tenants and Residents Groups and questionnaires filled in by residents in the course of engagement with the Neighbourhood Police Team. As a result this priority has been identified as one of the three for the area.
This will be reveiwed at regular intervals through consulatation with all interested parties and residents views play a huge part in this process so we urge you to let us know how we are performing on this priority.

Our Response
The Neighbourhood Policing Team have developed a response/plan in conjunction with Community Protection, Youth Services, the Local Authority, Local Councillors, and members of the community.

The resultant plan is multi-facetted and promises detailed action and outcomes from all agencies working within Sneinton.

For full details of the Sneinton Plan please see the link at the top of the page.

February 2012 -
Reports of group related anti-social behaviour remain very low. However we are receiving increased reports of noise complaints particularly neighbour type issues. Can I remind you that we work very closely with Community Protection who have ownership of these problems, so the neighbourhood team can take action and look at resolving these issues for you. There is a meeting on 23rd Feb at Edale Rise School called Your Choice Your Voice which will give you the chance to get updates from the police and also allow you chance to communicate any issues you may have to the Neighbourhood Team or Councillors. The meeting is taking place from 1900-2030hrs.

January 2012 -
From all at the Sneinton Neighbourhood Police Team can we take this opportunity to wish you a prosperous and peaceful New Year. In the next few months we will be looking at planning for Spring/Summer period to ensure we meet residents requirements when it comes to policing the area with regard to ASB. If you wish to give us your thoughts with regard to this then please e-mail us at Sneintonsnt@nottinghamshire.pnn.police.uk.
The figures for street related ASB remain very low, but please report anything that affects your quality of life.

You have reported to the Police and Partner agencies incidents of Anti Social Behaviour (ASB) particularly around the Premier Convenience Store on the Wells Road, Flints Convenience Store on Ransom Road and the surrounding roads.
You stated to Police that the community felt intimidated using their local shops and would avoid using them when the groups were in the area.
