Beeston North

The Beeston North beat is a residential area made up of the Bramcote Hills estate and Beeston Fields estate. There are parks in both estates with children's playing facilities, football pitches and a bowling green. Beeston North beat is surrounded by Beeston town centre, Wollaton and Lenton Abbey. Roads that border Beeston North are Wollaton Road, Derby Road, Woodside Road and Broadgate.

There are a number of main roads running through the beat area. Two of these are the A52 Derby Road, which is a three-lane carriageway running from Nottingham towards Stapleford, and Wollaton Road, running between Beeston and Bramcote.

There is a community centre on Boundary Road Beeston that runs a cafe for homeless people called Hope cafe where homeless people are given food and drink in turn for doing jobs around the community centre. The centre also organises and runs a number of activities that cater for all age ranges, including youth clubs, a friendship group and dog obedience classes.

Under the Policing Pledge, this is an urban beat and has a 15 minute emergency response time. For an explanation of what this means click here.

Beat Update

The crimes that were reported during December 2011 are as follows:

Robbery -1
Theft – 3
Violence against a person – 5
Criminal damage – 5
Drug offences – 3
Theft from motor vehicle -4

During this period 5 of these crimes were detected.

DWELLING BURGLARY

When a burglary is reported to the Police the Local Beat Team will deliver a crime prevention leaflet to every house on the street where the burglary has occurred. This is to ensure that every resident is informed of this burglary should someone have witnessed anything suspicious and also to ensure that residents take all available steps to secure their property in order that any future offences can be prevented.

If you have any information as to who is committing burglaries or about any other crime then call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Please continue to lock your doors and windows when you are not at home and ensure that your house alarm is set. If you do not have a house alarm please consider installing one as this is a useful visual deterrent.

At this time of year most people switch lights on but leave curtains and blinds open. This is an ideal opportunity for a burglar to walk past your house and see what items you have on display. Please consider closing blinds and curtains when you switch your lights on.

Also ensure that keys to your vehicles are placed in a secure location within your house. Do not leave them on a key hook by the front door or on a table in the hallway. Ideally, place them somewhere that is not obvious. The same is true for your house keys. Please place these in a location that is not obvious but where all members of the household know where to find them in case of an emergency.

THEFT FROM MOTOR VEHICLE

The Local Beat Team will also deliver crime prevention leaflets to every house should an autocrime offence occur on the street. This is to also ensure that residents are aware and can take appropriate steps to ensure their vehicle is not broken into.

Please remember to remove all items of value from your vehicle. Remove the Satellite Navigation System and the holder and get into the habit of wiping the windscreen where the holder has been. Removing items from your vehicle reduces the temptation for someone to break into your vehicle. Even items like re-usable shopping bags should be removed. Any item that is left in the vehicle can tempt an offender to break in to see what is inside.

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH

The Local Beat Team are actively seeking volunteers to set up a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme on their street. The intention is to have a scheme running on every street in the Neighbourhood. Neighbourhood Watch is a vital link between the Community and the Local Beat Team and we are committed in trying to expand this.

The Local Beat Team regularly delivers leaflets throughout the Neighbourhood and whilst doing this we will check to see if your street is in Neighbourhood Watch. Should you not be in a Neighbourhood Watch area this leaflet will also contain a section requesting volunteers to form a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme. In some instances you can get a discount from your Home Insurance Company through being in a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme.

If you are interested in Neighbourhood Watch and would like to set up a scheme then please contact a member of the Local Beat Team.

NEIGHBOURHOOD ALERT

Neighbourhood Watch has now come into the 21st century by allowing community members to contribute without having to attend meetings or patrol streets. It’s simple to use, highly secure and free and can provide warnings about local criminal activity and prevention advice by email, text or phone. It also allows members to supply information to the police about suspicious activity in total confidence and discuss local issues online.
If you would like any other information regarding the Neighbourhood Alert scheme then please visit the Following website: www.broxtowecommunity.co.uk

SPEED CHECKS

The Local Beat Team will be conducting speed enforcement checks on Marlborough Road, Abbey Road, Peveril Road, Boundary Road and Carwood Road. These checks will be conducted at various times of the day.

Please remember that the Speed Limit is 30mph and any vehicle exceeding the speed limit will be stopped and the driver issued with a Fixed Penalty Notice if appropriate.

Please note that these checks will be conducted without prior notification.

ANTI SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR

The Local Beat Team are conducting patrols around the area in order to ensure that Anti Social Behaviour is kept to a minimum. The focus of these patrols will be around the Lowes estate area, Dennis Avenue and Beeston Fields recreation ground. If any residents are experiencing Anti Social Behaviour then please contact the Local Beat Team.

NEIGHBOURHOOD PRIORITY SURVEYS (NPS)

Please complete the NPS on a regular basis. The purpose of the surveys are to tell us of any concerns / problems you have in the area where you live, work or visit. They also enable you to make suggestions of ways in which we could tackle the issues effectively. The results of the surveys are analysed every three months, and from these we set priorities. YOUR priorities are OUR priorities. We focus our time in these areas to make improvements on what concerns you. We then repeat the process every three months therefore keeping up to date with your issues.

If you require any of the surveys either for yourself, or to distribute to your friends, neighbours, or social activity groups please make contact with us either by email, phone or text, or visit Beeston Police Station and we will be happy to provide you with as many as you require.

Finally, the Local Beat Team would like to remind all residents to report any problems or incidents to the Police in order that we can be aware and tackle the problem. The non emergency number is 101
