Neighbourhood Priorities
Through consultation with the members of the public in this neighbourhood we regularly set out a number of priorities to be tackled.
- Burglary Show details
The 'Priority setting meeting' held on the 18th January 2012 found that the results of Neighbourhood Priority Surveys (NPS) carried out in the Stapleford Cluster between October to December 2011; that Burglary is still a concern to local residents. The meeting was for the Cluster of Stapleford Beats and it was agreed that Burglary would remain a priority. It is not only a Cluster priority but also a force priority at this time. No areas were identified at the time but rather it is a concern for the whole cluster.
Our Response
January 2012 update
There is currently a burglary and Autocrime patrol plan ongoing in the Stapleford Cluster whereby officers are tasked to carry out high visible patrols in the hotspot areas every evening into the early hours. Persons seen acting suspicious in the area are stopped and details taken. Their names are then checked on our system to see if they have any links with burglary or Autocrime.
November 2011 update
We are pleased to announce that burglary figures are still down compared to the same period for the previous year (July – October 2010) with a 31% decrease. The Stapleford neighbourhood policing team are constantly working to keep burglary numbers down by targeting known burglars and their associates as well as making residents more aware of how to protect their homes and belongings by target hardening.
July 2011 update
Operation Concentric was a massive success with a 73% drop in reported crime figures. The Neighbourhood Policing Team along with the Special constables carried out high visible patrols every evening April and May. Areas that had previously been burgled were target hardened with revisits and crime prevention leaflets.
Operation Concentric is currently underway in the Stapleford area and will be running until 1st June 2011. The areas that are to be covered in this have been generated using previous burglary figures for March – June. The aim is to not only reduce the number of burglaries that have happened in the Stapleford area this year but also to improve confidence in the local community and make members of the public feel safer in their homes. The local beat officers will be conducting high visibility foot patrols in the target area at identified times to gather and build intelligence and promote public reassurance. Highly visible Police signs are to be deployed in various locations promoting public reassurance. These signs will be placed in the identified areas and moved on a fortnightly basis to increase awareness of Police activity.
This priority will be reassessed after the next ‘priority setting meeting’ which is held on the 18th April 2012. - Speeding traffic Show details
Neighbourhood priority surveys carried out between October and December 2011 have shown that vehicle nuisance is still a concern to local residents. It was therefore decided at the ‘priority setting meeting’ held on the 18th January 2012 that this would remain a priority. At this time vehicle nuisance covers Speeding and Parking.
Speeding has been identified on Ilkeston Road, Hickings Lane, Hillside Road and Nottingham Road
Parking has been identified on Cliffe Hill, Windsor Street, West Avenue.
Our Response
The Special Police Constables along with the Neighbourhood Policing team will be carrying out speed checks using the hand held speed device in the areas stated. Any person found to be speeding will be issued with a fixed penalty notice and given a £60 fine and 3 points on their driving licence.
There is a large amount of training work being done by PC 739 Farrell from Stapleford Police Station which has greatly increased the number of officers that are now trained to use the speed gun and so there will be more speed checks being carried out in the Stapleford and Bramcote areas. The special constables have been out most Monday and Tuesday evenings with the device, many drivers have been warned and fixed penalty tissues have been issued.
This priority will be reassessed after the next ‘priority setting meeting’ which is held on the 18th April 2012. - Anti social behaviour Show details
Neighbourhood Priority Surveys carried out between October and December 2011 have shown that ASB is still a concern to the Stapleford cluster residents. It was therefore agreed at the ‘priority setting meeting’ held on the 18th January 2012 that ASB would remain a priority for the area. The areas identified at the meeting were the Walker Parker Memorial Square, Co-Op car park and Hickings Lane Park.
Our Response
January 2012 update
Operation Animism continues to be carried out by the neighbourhood Policing Team every Friday and Saturday evenings in the identified hot spot areas as well as the local beat team carrying our high visibility patrols throughout their regular shifts.
The local beat team are still in talks with the Council regarding getting a new skate Park built on Hickings Lane Park as the old one was taken down due to disrepair.
November 2011 update
Your local beat team and other members of the Stapleford cluster are patrolling the areas, along with the new installation of CCTV cameras in these areas. This proved to be effective over the Halloween time as there were very few calls in relation to anti social behaviour at this time.
High visibility patrols of the problem areas will continue.
Operation Animism has successfully been running for the last few months on Broxtowe North and South, the neighbourhood policing teams have targeted hot spot areas taking names of all persons found in these areas and dealt with any issues of ASB strongly. We have found that within a few nights of this action the problems have seized. Victims of ASB have been regularly visited and updated with actions taken. Areas are agreed and discussed every week and are based on calls received by the public and intelligence submitted by the neighbourhood policing team.
July 2011 update
Two new initiatives were set up last month to help reduce the amount of ASB occurring in Broxtowe South.
Op Animism – this operation is carried out every Friday and Saturday afternoon and evening by officers from the Neighbourhood Policing team. The team are tasked to patrol all the ASB hotspots in the area, these areas are identified from calls made by the public and current intelligence – taking into account social events, school holidays, protest etc.
The other system that we have in place now is an ASB task force. This comprises of four PCSO’s who are sent to the highest risk hot spots for the County to tackle and stamp out ASB and the deal effectively with the persons causing the problems.
March 2011 Update
The local officers are continuing to patrol the park areas in the evenings and at weekends and engage with any groups that are seen to be congregating on them to obtain their details and tackle any anti social behaviour that may be occurring. The local beat officers have recently participated in a community football match with some of the young males in the area to try and build relations with them. This was a huge success and will hopefully become a more frequent event.
This priority will be reassessed after the next ‘priority setting meeting’ which is held on the 18th April 2012.
