No priority change.
Members of the Ridge Ward Neighbourhood Policing team are actively patrolling the area when practicable, these patrols have reduced the calls for service on those days. Officers will continue to deal with any issues or concerns in a positive way. The local community are assisting the Ridge Ward Policing Team by reporting any issues or concerns relating to youths causing annoyance. When the Kirton Lindsey youth centre is open on a Friday night there are reduced calls in respect of youths causing annoyance.
It is clear that the vast majority of young people living in and visiting the area are well behaved and cause no problems, unfortunately one or two are spoiling it for the community. Patrols will continue in the area, such reports are monitored and this priority was discussed at the last Ridge Ward NAT (neighbourhood action team) meeting on the 20th January 2011 it was decided to keep this as a continuing priority for review at a later date.
Update.
Calls for service in relation to anti-social behaviour in Kirton Lindsey have continued to reduce over the previous 3 month period. The Ridge Ward Neighbourhood Policing Team continues to patrol the Kirton Lindsey and surrounding areas to ensure such calls remain low.

Previous Priorities
April 2010
Priority 1 – Anti Social Behaviour King Edward Street (including playing field), Market Place, Spa Hill and Church Street.
This includes concerns regarding the perception of youths congregating and drinking in the street and other associated public areas. The majority of young people act and behaviour in a responsible manner. Unfortunately a small number are causing concerns. The reports of such behaviour across the area have actually been falling. However any such behaviour is mindless and causing the victims to dedicate valuable time to clean up after the offenders. The local Pcso’s are patrolling the area continuing our engagement in the community.
There are regular consultation meetings between Humberside & Lincolnshire Police. This is via the Cross border consultation meetings these are an ongoing process to action issues in respect of young people travelling between to the two Policing areas. There have been increased Policing patrols in particular Kirton Lindsey over the past few weeks to deal with local concerns. Young people have been travelling from area to area for many years and that in itself is not a concern the concern is when a small minority of these youths decide to drink and cause disorder issues this is what the communities object to and positive action will be taken in respect of any youths causing problems.
Priority 2 – Parking – King Edward Street (including playing field), Market Place, Spa Hill and Church Street.
Priority 3 – Dog Fouling (Kirton Lindsey). High Street, Spa Hill and surrounding areas
At a recent NAT meeting the issue of dog fouling was raised and this appears to have recently increased in the area. This has been discussed with the senior environmental officer for the area and there is a genuine need for local dog owners to be more aware of there responsibility to clean up after their pets. Additional leaflets have been supplied to the Parish council.
All dog owners have a legal requirement to clean up the mess their dogs deposit. All of us in the community have a duty to report any owners who do not abide by this core value, prosecutions will be brought against those failing to do the right thing. Dog mess is a real health problem if left, the simple rule for dog walkers is “Pick it up, bag it and dispose of it correctly” Please help to make our streets cleaner and safer by simple responsible practice.
Residents are encouraged to report anyone responsible for letting their dogs foul and who do not clean it up to report it to environmental services on 01724 297000.
