Welcome to Immingham

Criminal damage offences are still a priority and the revisits to all victims of damage are continuing. The damage has been occurring more around the Middleplatt Road area of Immingham and Alden Close which is around the Shoreline flats area. The items that are getting damaged regularly are building windows and other parts of those properties. Please be vigilant and report any suspicious circumstances or damages that you see in progress.

The proposal by the council involving the extension of the double yellow lines at the junction with Manby Road at the redundant section of the road are still waiting to be completed. There has been a delay due to various types of orders going through but work is expected to commence within four to six weeks. The neighbourhood team are also still monitoring an illegal parking issue that is currently in progress on Pelham Road near to the Pelican crossing. If vehicles are found to be parked illegally then they can be dealt with by means of fixed penalty notice. We are also in the process of contacting HGV transport managers to send the message to their drivers about the restricted use of our roads. Two warnings were recently given out to the transport managers involving HGV’s that were found to be illegally parked along Pelham Road.

We have had a good month in relation to Anti-Social behaviour issues. Reports for this type of incident have reduced. The issue still remains a priority and areas such as Clyfton Crescent and Roval Drive continue to be monitored. The CCTV camera is still there and appears to be working well. Regular patrols have continued to take place and any youths found abusing the facilities or acting in an anti social manner will be dealt with. The second youth crime prevention project jointly run by staff from the Oasis Academy, Neighbourhood Policing team, Youth inclusion support panel and youth workers has been successfully completed with the six youths that were present on the course. There are future plans for further courses.

HGV’s using the village to access Stallingborough Industrial Estate has been continuing. There has also been several reports of theft of diesel from compounds locally. Businesses on the Industrial Estate are encouraged to join the Stallingborough Industrial Estate Group S.T.I.N.G. which meet regularly to discuss issues with a view to reducing the levels of crime and making the area a safer place to work, and operate a business. Three males were successfully charged following a Police investigation involving an attempt burglary to a transport company within Immingham recently. See offenders brought to justice for more details.

Immingham PCSO’s are continuing to successfully engage with the youngsters with the aim of improving facilities, and organising football coaching and practice matches. There has been complaints of youths causing annoyance by playing football in the bus shelters. The training usually takes place on the playing fields at the bottom of Chapel Lane on a Sunday. Times do vary so if you would like to attend it is best to contact PCSO Emma Garner directly at Immingham Police Station.
