Youths Causing Annoyance Kirton Lindsey

There were reported problems in the Market Lane area of Kirton Lindsey this is the footpath which leads from Queen Street to March Street. This area had become a congregating area for young person(s) who used the area to drink, smoke and drop litter this was affecting the local area. It was clear that the vast majority of young people living and visiting Kirton Lindsey are well behaved and cause no porblems. Unfortunately a small number do cause annoyance and it is those who are and will continue to be targeted by the Ridge Ward (NPT) Neighbourhood Policing Team.

We did

As a result of the reports this issue was brought to the attention of the Ridge NAT (Neighbourhood Action Team) and with the help of Safer Neighbourhoods and the support of local ward councillors. The Ridge NPT have attended and patrolled the area on a regular basis these patrols have result in a number of youths being indentified at the location and moved on there is also an option to send letters to parent(s) and or guardian(s) regarding this location. A zero tolerance approach has been implemented no youths are allowed to stay in that area. The location is a footpath and it should be used for that purpose. The increased patrols have resulted in youths no longer using that area to congregate. Further patrols and action will be taken.

Parking concerns Nookings Drive, Hibaldstow

It has been reported that there are ongoing concerns about inconsiderate parking in and around the Nookings Drive & Dallison Road area of Hibaldstow.
The main reason for parking issues is the fact that more and more vehicles are connected to households in the area. The design and construction of the area is a major factor. It has been reported that some types of vehicle could find it difficult to drive through. This situation is not unique to this area and is a country wide factor. Parking is the responsibility of the vehicle drivers and a change of attitude and mindset to parking is the soloution.

We did

This has been an area which has been monitored by the Ridge Ward (NPT) Neighbourhood Policing Team. Due to the recent report officers have continued to patrol the area, if vehicle(s) are found which could be causing an obstruction have been dealt with via warning notices and any repeat offenders will be dealt with using fixed penalty notices. During the regular patrols there have been very few vehicles parking in a way causing an unnecessary obstruction. There are two dedicated parking areas at either end of Dallison Road which should be used which would help the situation but drivers will where possible due to limited off road parking will park as near as possible to their properties. It is highly unlikely that any (TRO) Traffic Regulation Order would be considered by the highways department and if yellow lines and restrictions were introduced this would result in current vehicles parking being moved to surrounding areas moving the concern and not resolving it.
Patrols are continuing in the area and appropriate action will be taken depending on the individual circumstances.

The area of Nookings Drive will still be patrolled and relevant action taken.

It must be understood that the primary resolution for any parking issues lies with the action of the vehicle driver. If they display due consideration such reports will of course be reduced. Certain location could be improved with (TRO) Traffic Regulation Orders but it must be said that this is only practical in a small number of new cases and will ultimately be the decision of the Highways after all the facts have been assessed.

Cannabis Concerns Greetwell

It has been brought to the attention of the Police regarding the possible use of drugs between Greetwell and Messingham. The likelihood is that cannabis is being smoked by young persons who are meeting up in cars.

We did

As a result of information received and with the assistance of Incident Response Police Officers at Brigg Police station at 2120hrs on Friday 12th January 2013 Police attended Brigg Road, Greetwell there found three adult males each in possession of a small quantity of a controlled drug class B Cannabis. As a result they were all interviewed and fully admitted the possession offence they were all dealt with by way of Formal Warnings for Cannabis. This sends out a positive message that action will be taken. If a vehicle driver is found in possession of drugs no matter how small and is in control of a vehicle at the time that person stands the risk of losing their driving licence for given period if the Police notify DVLA about the facts also a possession offence could have implications of job and travel prospects. So you have been warned.

Issues of parking have also been raised with North Lincolnshire Council & North Lincs Homes this was partly to do with a request for additional parking it also made reference to parking on some of the grass verges in the area. This resulted with a site meeting being arranged for those relevant departments, the meeting was held on 21/02/2013 which included several local residents. The out come of that meeting was that no additional parking was required as there are two car parks provided by North Lincs Homes on Dallison Road which are currently under used.
There was a request to convert a grass verge owned by North Lincs Council in front of the playing filed off Greenfield Drive but this has been rejected as it forms part of an open space area.

Parking Concerns Cornwall Street (Kirton Lindsey).

Over the past few months concerns about parking on Cornwall Street, Kirton Lindsey outside the Kirton Lindsey Primary School during term times when parents and guardians are dropping off in the morning and picking up in the afternoon children from the school.
To date there have been no reported incidents where the safety of the children has resulted. There is a concern that the parking is causing traffic flow issues at the relevant times.

We did

As a result of the reports members of the Ridge Ward Neighbourhood team have attended at the location and contact has been made with a member of the local community who raised their concern. Ongoing visits and patrols in the area will continue to date a number of vehicle drivers have been contacted and suitable advice given.
There area outside the school is partly covered by a schools travel zone the Highways department have been contacted and have passed on the reported comments to the relevant agency. There is a system where each individual location is assessed on its circumstances and any long term issues such as a TRO have to be considered by the relevant agencies and organisations. There are no known plans for such consideration at this time.

The Neighbourhood Policing Team will continue to attend the area when practicable. A report was received on 15/02/2013 from a local resident who had parked a vehicle on Cornwall Street and at that time it was the only vehicle present, unfortunately when other vehicles parked to drop off children due to another vehicles parking location caused an obstruction for a bus to get past, this resulted with the innocent driver becoming involved in a verbal exchange with the driver of the bus and another vehicle. This is just one example of what could happen in an area if people do not consider the consequences of where they park.
Drivers are also parking on a nearby grass verge which is not acceptable and is causing the verge to be churned up causing an unsightly mess.

The message to parents & guardians is clear if you are attending the location to drop off and pick up children from school do so in a responsible and considerate manner.
1. Do Not park across the entrances to driveways of local residents which then causes an unnecessary obstruction. (there is no excuse of “I am only going to be a couple of minutes” )
2. Do Not park on the Yellow Zig Zag lines in the bay directly outside the school.
3. Do Not park in such away that means a bus or coach size vehicle cannot pass along the carriageway.
Please consider do I really need to drive the children only a short distance to school or can I walk.

It is important that people drive and park their vehicles in a safe and considerate way. Responsible drivers make the roads safer for all of us. If you park in an inconsiderate way don’t be surprised when you are contacted by the Police or receive a (TOR) Traffic Offence Report.
