Gedling Neighbourhood Policing Inspector Inspector Heather Harding has issued her latest update to the community on progress being made in the fight against local crime…
Happy New Year to you all. I hope you all enjoyed the festive period.
Your local Neighbourhood Team have been working hard to address the community priorities over the last few weeks, as well as attending engagement events and festive activities within the areas.
ASB in Arnold – The youth outreach work has continued with some positive outcomes evident. The reported incidents of ASB have reduced which is a positive step towards solving this problem. Through community and partner engagement the team have highlighted the main offenders and will be taking positive action in relation to these people and any offences identified.
ASB in Calverton – As a result of the hard work from the local NPT team, the incidents reported have subsided and the group causing problems are no longer an issue. The team have built bridges and developed good relationships with some of the young people involved which will mean that they will be steered away from causing problems in the future.
Car cruising in Gedling South – Collaborative working between the local NPT and Gedling Borough Council has led to a number of positive results in relation to the Public Spaces Protection Order in the local area which is to deter vehicle related nuisance. This work will continue in the New Year, with further operations planned to address the issue and to improve awareness of the PSPO and the conditions within it.
The local priorities for the upcoming quarter are:
• Youth related ASB
• Vehicle related ASB
• Begging
There are no concerning crime trends to report, but I would like to take this opportunity to remind you to secure your properties and always be vigilant. If you see something concerning, please report to 101 in a non-emergency, or 999 if a crime is taking place.
