Neighbourhood Priorities
Through consultation with the members of the public in this neighbourhood we regularly set out a number of priorities to be tackled.
- Antisocial behaviour and street drinking Show details
This is still a concern locally. Beeston Town Centre/Broadgate, Carwood Road area and Central Avenue area have been identified as the problem areas.
Our Response
February update:
We continue to operate Operation Broadside, which is our operation to tackle anti-social behaviour. Details of persons dealt with are logged. Letters are sent to parents and also the details are shared with Broxtowe Borough Council should further interventions be required. We have seen a decrease in anti-social behaviour and hope this continues. Our patrols have also been supplemented by a number of Special Constables who work with us most evenings of the week. Please continue to report incidents to us on 0300 300 9999 so we can ensure that we are patrolling the correct areas
- Speeding traffic Show details
Survey results show that the speed of vehicles on side roads is a concern locally. Wollaton Road, Humber Road, Meadow Road and Queens Road were identified as the problem areas.
Our Response
To conduct and enforce speed checks on specific streets at various times of the day. Enforcement of offences will be as per current guidelines and will include warnings and penalty notices.
February 2010 update:
Special Constables have been carrying out speed checks at peak times in areas identified as having problems with speeding vehicles. More frequent speed checks will be carried out when daylight hours are longer. Ten vehicles have been stopped so far this month on roads identified as problematic.
