Please be aware that Officers will be targeting motorists this month in a clamp downon mobile phone use, speeding and seatbelts. This is part of a safety push from thelocal Police Neighbourhood team due to the adverse weather conditions. Weexperience a high volume of road traffic accidents at this time of year, and althoughthese accidents are generally blamed on road conditions, investigations show on

many occasions that the driver was at fault for a road traffic offence.

Please conform to the street furniture, including speeding restrictions, automatedtraffic signals. Many collisions can be avoided and decrease the number of casualties that are currently very high. 

There are many schools within our community and so we have thousands of childrencoming and going from school every morning and afternoon. Officers do attend theschools to give road safety advice, please be aware when driving around the schoolareas. Most of all do not use your mobile phones and please make sure your passengers and yourselves are wearing your seatbelts. They do save lives!

We have recently signed up another 450 residents to receive our weekly and

monthly News bulletins/Letters. This is our way of letting residents/businesses

know what is going on in the immediate area where they live/work. We have

attended some of the high rise flats on Victoria Avenue East, Pennine Close,

Crosslee Road, St Margaret’s Road among others. We will continue our efforts to

speak with as many residents as possible in order to get this information out and

also ask what detail residents want in the updates. We have also received

information which hadn’t been reported. This has included issues with Anti Social

Behaviour (ASB) hotspots, drug dealing locations and vehicles involved. Without this

face to face contact we would never have received this information. Issues with

access to the communal doors in the flats seemed to be a great concern. This has

been added to patrol plans and the local housing office is aware, who have tasked

more patrols from the wardens. The management company at Freshfields have

been contacted about the use of laser pens. A leaflet drop was also conducted in

this block to remind people of the dangers of these pens. Hopefully this will negate

any more problems.

As always keep the information coming through on all the contact details provided

and if you would like to receive this Monthly newsletter via e-mail, instead of a

paper copy then drop me a line at 15491@gmp.police.uk
