Completed Neighbourhood Priorities
- Anti-Social Behaviour (Street Drinking and Under-age Smoking) - Cotgrave Show details
A priority setting meeting was held with members of the public on 28 September 2010. In Cotgrave, of those people surveyed, 48 per cent stated that anti-social behaviour (ASB) and rowdy nuisance behaviour was of most concern.
Groups of people hanging around on the street as the next highest concern at 32 per cent, followed closely by concern over criminal damage with 28 per cent of those surveyed sighting it as a problem.
The fourth highest problem was nuisance motorcycling with eleven people concerned about this.
Overall it is clear that the residents of Cotgrave regard anti-social behaviour in all its forms as being the main priority for them that the police should focus on and highlighted anti-social behaviour on the shopping precinct, Hickling Way, Saxon Way and West Furlong.
Although there are no specific patterns identified form the surveys, the main times that problems occur are evenings, and weekends.
Our Response
Members of the local beat team will tackle the issues raised in a number of ways, most notably by undertaking high visibility patrols in these areas at material times. This will include patrols by the Special Constabulary. Positive action will be taken and offenders arrested where required. Use will be made of stop and search powers, powers of dispersal and alcohol seizures made.
Risky people and places will be targetted in line with the forces 20/20 Vision, both with a view to positive action being taken and also to steer offenders away from criminality where possible.
The website will be updated on a fortnightly basis with news on policing activity, arrests of significance and any other relative information.
We will continue to use the tactics that have proved to be successful in achieving reduction of anti-social behaviour during the previous priority period.
We continue to run Operation Broadside, which is our operation to tackle anti-social behaviour. Details of persons dealt with are logged. Details are shared with Rushcliffe Borough Council and with Spirita Housing 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. Please continue to report incidents to us on 101 so we can ensure that we are patrolling the correct areas.
We also continue to work alongside the Crime Reduction Partnership, Community Speedwatch and Neighbourhood Watch.

During the months of August, September and October 2009 the Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) conducted a large number of priority survey forms (PSF’S) amongst the community.
As a result of receiving over 400 responses this information was used at the first priority setting meeting (PSM) in order to give a detailed account of what were the issues of concern within the community. This meeting consisted of members of the community such as neighbourhood watch members, parish councillors, local residents and business people.
As a result of this PSM the priorities were identified and the Rushcliffe South NPT gave assurances as to how, over the next three months, these issues would be addressed.
Speeding motor vehicles on Owthorpe Road, Cotgrave and Tithby Road, Langar would be a priority for local Policing for the next three months to be reassessed at a further meeting in January 2010.
Our Response
The response to the priority highlighted is that officers using speed detection devices will attend the area to monitor vehicles at appropriate times and where appropriate issue fixed penalty tickets.
Liaison will also take place with the local community speedwatch in respect of the Wiverton issue. Local village newsletters/magazines will be used to raise the profile of the priority in a bid to educate the community.

POLICE UPDATE Tuesday 20 October 2009 - Tuesday 26 January 2010
Anti-Social Behaviour - Cotgrave
Since the Priority Setting Meeting of Tuesday 20 October 2009, there has been a huge amount of work with regard to anti-social behaviour in Cotgrave. Operations Broadside, Bagreef and Buttonwood have seen offenders targeted and more than 20 arrests made in relation to anti-social behaviour and associated matters. The targeting of Risky People and Places has been implemented and in connection with that nominated individuals are visited weekly at their home address to keep up to date with there movements, behavioural patterns and associates. Support is also offered where appropriate in a bid to steer individuals away from the path of offending, however early arrests are also made where complaints of criminal activity are received. Three youths are subject of anti-social behaviour orders and four acceptable behaviour contracts have been entered into. One target person is currently remanded to local authority care awaiting sentencing having been found guilty of a number of offences which impact on the community. There have been regular updates on the Force Website throughout this period.
In the year to date within the Cotgrave area there have been reductions in virtually all crime most notably violent crime 21 per cent, Burglary Dwelling 40 per cent and Vehicle Crime 40 pre cent. Calls regarding anti-social behaviour have decreased by 30 per cent. All of this means that there are significantly less people who have been a victim of crime compared to a year ago.

POLICE UPDATES FOR DECEMBER 2009
Cotgrave & Wiverton
On Thursday 17 December 2009 at Cotgrave Police Station two local youths were given Acceptable Behaviour Contracts (ABCs) by local officers working in partnership with an officer from Rushcliffe Borough Council. This contract is issued on a voluntary basis to people who have caused a nuisance or low level Anti-Social Behaviour within the community, and is designed to provide behavioural guidance in the form of simple bullet points which aim to steer the young person away from the path of offending.
On Friday 18 December 2009, as a result of targeting the appropriate locations 15 local youths and girls were stopped and spoken to by patrolling officers. The local pubs and late night outlets were visited to offer reassurance to both retailers and customers. Two local youths were ejected from a takeaway by the owner supported by patrolling officers. Three “Risky People“ were visited at their home address and spoken to regarding their behaviour and ongoing issues. This tactic will be maintained and is designed to both combat crime and Anti-Social Behaviour, but also to encourage interaction and offer support where appropriate to prevent re-offending. As a direct result of targeted patrol, a male was arrested on suspicion of theft of lead although he was later released without charge.
On Saturday 19 December 2009, a 23-year-old local man was arrested on suspicion of assault and of assault on a Police Officer. He was charged with both offences and will appear in court today (Monday 21 December 2009).
Patrolling officers reported that their high visibility patrols were met with many positive comments from members of the public. Only today, a Christmas card was received at Cotgrave Police Station from a resident who has previously had cause to complain regarding Anti-Social Behaviour. This resident now thanks the police for the action that they have taken and reports a decrease in the number of negative incidents that she has experienced. This shows that targetted patrols are making a real difference to the residents of Cotgrave.
Thursday 17 December 2009 - Sunday 20 December 2009
During this weekend over 20 extra officers were utilised to police the Rushcliffe South area, focusing on the 20/20 vision directing patrols to the “Risky Places “ and the “Risky People” within the community.

On Saturday 28 November 2009, these Operations continued and a group of youngsters were removed from Cotgrave Shopping Precinct at the request of patrolling officers.
On Monday 30 November 2009, a priority offender was arrested by PC 1981 Moon after assaulting a local store manager and was charged and will appear in court on Thursday 17 December 2009. This person now has bail conditions relevant to the offence committed.
Police Update - Operations Bagreef, Buttonwood and Broadside
Monday 30 November 2009 - Wednesday 16 December 2009
During the above period the Local Policing Area has benefited from up to 16 extra officers being deployed on a Friday and Saturday evening when local officers supported by other departments have continued to patrol the area in line with the Nottinghamshire Police 20/20 Vision. This has previously been reported and involves targeting both the Risky People and Risky Places within the community. These patrols have been high visibility both on foot and in vehicles and have been conducted in a positive manner.
During this period of activity three people were arrested as a direct result of the above tactics. These were for offences of Possession of Cannabis, Criminal Damage, Breach of an Anti-Social Behaviour Order and Burglary of Outbuildings. The offenders in respect of the drugs and Burglary offences have been charged and the other offender is currently on Police Bail with certain conditions attached.
Also 15 people have been issued with Section 27 Notices, which require individuals to leave an area for a designated period of time. This is a tool, which is used to combat Anti-Social Behaviour in relation particularly to drink affected individuals. A breach of this notice can result in arrest and one individual has been arrested during this period of time and dealt with at the Police Station. Stop and search powers have been used and in addition more than 20 local youths and girls have been spoken to by patrolling officers, and both bail and curfew checks have been conducted where relevant.
Within Cotgrave 12 people are highlighted as being “Risky” within the community and as such these people have been and will continue to be visited on a regular basis by patrolling officers. These visits are both in relation to the prevention and detection of crime and to reduce re-offending, but also to offer support and identify areas of help that can be used to steer an individual away from the commission of further offences thus reducing the impact on the community.
This period has seen a reduction of incidents and calls in relation to Anti-Social Behaviour fall to an all time low.
Our Solution
These tactics used have proved productive in achieving the aims of this priority.
Crime reduction shows this in detail.
Insp Hallam - Speeding - Cropwell Bishop Show details

POLICE UPDATES FOR NOVEMBER 2009
On Thursday 26 November 2009, a speed detection operation took place on Nottingham Road, Cropwell Bishop. The community speedwatch attended with two pupils from Cropwell Bishop Primary School and Headmaster Mr Phil Palmer. The two children were winners in a poster competition highlighting the dangers of speeding and were able to operate the speedwatch gun and see the work the community speed watch do. During this operation the reaction of passing motorists was very positive and in fact the speed of vehicles was in general within the 30mph limit. The children will be writing a report which will be posted on this website.
On Thursday 26 November 2009, Georgina Brown and Jonny Gondzic arrived at the Memorial Hall and met PC Moon, Mr Palmer the Head Teacher of the school, Alan, and Peter from the Parish Council, and Sue Ward, a Speed Watch member.
"When we got in we put some bright yellow jackets on.
Then we made our way to the bus stop and got the equipment set up it, it was a speed gun and a speed monitor. You point the speed gun at the car and it tells you how fast the car is going.
If it is going over 30mph the person is sent a letter.
The first person to have a go was Jonny.
After Georgina’s go Miss Price, a teacher at our school, was seen going 24 miles per hour which is a good speed for a soft top car.
Nobody was seen speeding because when they came into the village they saw us and slowed down. Even though we didn’t catch any body it meant we had done a good job because hopefully people will remember us and won’t speed. We were all very surprised at how much faster 30 miles per hour seems when you see it. Inside a car it seems much slower and so people tries to go faster.
After that we went back to the Memorial Hall where PC Moon gave us gifts from the police, a fridge magnet, a key ring, and pens. We had a great time we learnt a lot as you can tell."

Our Solution
These tactics used have proved productive in achieving the aims of this priority. - Anti-Social Behaviour (Street Drinking and Under-age Smoking) - Cotgrave Show details
A priority setting meeting was held with members of the public on Tuesday 11 May 2010. In Cotgrave, of those people surveyed, 48 per cent stated that anti-social behaviour (ASB) and rowdy nuisance behaviour was of most concern.
Groups of people hanging around on the street as the next highest concern at 32 per cent, followed closely by concern over criminal damage with 28 per cent of those surveyed sighting it as a problem.
The fourth highest problem was nuisance motorcycling with eleven people concerned about this.
Overall it is clear that the residents of Cotgrave regard anti-social behaviour in all its forms as being the main priority for them that the police should focus on and highlighted anti-social behaviour on the shopping precinct, Hickling Way, Saxon Way and West Furlong.
Although there are no specific patterns identified form the surveys, the main times that problems occur are evenings, and weekends.
Our Response
Members of the local beat team will tackle the issues raised in a number of ways, most notably by undertaking high visibility patrols in these areas at material times. This will include patrols by the Special Constabulary. Positive action will be taken and offenders arrested where required. Use will be made of stop and search powers, powers of dispersal and alcohol seizures made.
Risky people and places will be targetted in line with the forces 20/20 Vision, both with a view to positive action being taken and also to steer offenders away from criminality where possible.
The website will be updated on a fortnightly basis with news on policing activity, arrests of significance and any other relative information.
We will continue to use the tactics that have proved to be successful in achieving reduction of anti-social behaviour during the previous priority period.
We continue to run Operation Broadside, which is our operation to tackle anti-social behaviour. Details of persons dealt with are logged. Details are shared with Rushcliffe Borough Council and with Spirita Housing 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. Please continue to report incidents to us on 101 so we can ensure that we are patrolling the correct areas.
We also continue to work alongside the Crime Reduction Partnership, Community Speedwatch and Neighbourhood Watch.

Police Update for June 2010
On Monday 14 June 2010, a group of schoolchildren attended Cotgrave Police Station as part of the Candleby Life Project which is a community partnership initiative involving people from local walks of life and children from the Candleby Lane school. The group are learning more about the work of the police in Cotgrave with an emphasis on personal safety, crime/disorder and anti-social behaviour.
On Sunday 13 June 2010, Police Officers from the Off-Road Motorcycle Unit attended Cotgrave and patrolled those locations where illegal nuisance motorcycling has been taking place.
On 10 June 2010, a police officer on patrol in Cotgrave found a group of youths drinking in the vicinity of the shopping precinct and established that one of these youths was subject of an ASBO with a condition not to be in that location after 6pm.
