Priority Two - Youths Causing Annoyance

On Saturday 21/01/12 a group of youths were causing some problems on the high street in Broughton around Scalini’s. Some of the group have been identified and spoken to. Over the same weekend there was some damage to a wall at the village hall and the Estate Avenue sign was removed from its fixings. The sign has been reported to the council and it will be put back in place soon. We have conducted enquiries to find out who is responsible for the damage but have yet to identify the offenders. Please contact us if you have any information in relation to these incidents.

Broughton Allotments.

On the 16th January a few of the sheds on the site were broken into, may we remind everyone to secure all items left at the allotments, mark them with your post code or smart water, do not leave high value items on the site make sure locks are fitted to your sheds, you can buy shed alarms for around £10 on ebay these work with a battery and can be easily fitted on your shed door once the connection is broken they give out a high pitch scream, we will be meeting with the allotment association in the near future to discuss security on the site.

Previous Priorities

April 2010

Priority 1: Youths Causing Annoyance

During the course of general patrol small groups of youths have been moved on in Broughton from the front of the Nisa Today shop, St Mary’s church, the war memorial and outside the chip shop.

These groups have been sent to the playing field. In response to reports of youths camping and leaving litter Vicky and I have visited Roxby church and the playing field on a regular basis and found nobody present.

Priority 2: Speeding – Appleby

Traffic has been surveyed on Appleby Lane, Broughton and as a result there have been 18 prosecutions of speeding motorists.

It has been proposed that a school safety zone be installed outside the Phil Grundy Sports Centre on Scawby Road, Broughton in order to reduce traffic speed. This is before the town council during July, update to follow.

Priority 3: Parking

In response to reports of parking problems around school times we have attended and monitored the situation. There has been no need for any police action on these occasions.
