Beeston West

Beeston West has two main areas, both retail and residential, and is approximately one square mile in size. Chilwell Road is the main road through Beeston West, with a variety of small businesses on both sides of the road, for approximately quarter of a mile. The main roads bordering Beeston West are Queens Road, Dovecote Lane, Wollaton Road and Bramcote Drive.

There is a large residential area varying in age and style where the residents are active members of the Neighbourhood Watch. Beeston Town Centre is within a very short walking distance and it is approximately a little over one mile to Nottingham University. Beeston West is located next to Chilwell East and has Castle College close by. It offers good bus routes to various local areas, such as Chilwell, Bramcote, Stapleford, Long Eaton and Nottingham. The tram is also expected to run through Beeston West in the next couple of years (subject to planning).

Beeston West is where you will find Beeston Police Station. This is an operational response base working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Front Counter is open Monday to Friday, 8am until 10pm, and Saturday, 8am until 4pm, for help and advice and to report incidents.

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

FEBRUARY 2012 UPDATE

CRIME UPDATE

During January 2012 a total of 13 crimes were reported to the Police for the Beeston West beat.

The Crimes that were reported during January 2012 are as follows:

Burglary dwelling – 5
Burglary other -3
Violence against a person – 1
Theft – 1
Criminal damage – 3

During this period 1 of these crimes was 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

There is currently an Operation being carried out on Beeston West regarding auto crime - high visible signs have been located around the area informing residents and offenders that we are in the area paying close attention to vehicles. Officers will also be checking vehicles to make sure that no valubles are left on show, if they are the vehicles owners will be contacted and advised.

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

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 Chilwell Road and Dovcote Park 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
