Parking issues in Swanland

Regular visits to be made by PCSOs to monitor and enforce parking regulations, in the main street/ shopping area of Swanland.

Action Taken:

3 tickets have been issued to offending vehicles this month so far.

2 tickets issued on the 13 March
1 ticket issued on the 16 March

General patrol has taken place by officers at this location on the following date:

PCSO Overton 2nd, 5th, 6th and 12th March

PCSO Cammack 7th, 10th, 11th,12th March as well as the 16th, 22nd,23rd and 24th March

No offending vehicles were located.

During March/April there has been no need to issue any further fixed penalty notices. This issue was discussed at the Police and Community partners’ forum, held in Swanland on 15Th April 2010. It was agreed that this issue no longer is required to be a priority. The parking within Swanland is limited and no doubt it is revolving problem that cannot be fully solved without changing the geography of the village. The PCSO’s will continue to monitor the situation and where needed use enforcement.

Preferential treatment will not be given and all offences will be dealt with in accordance to traffic regulations. We receive many complaints about car parking in Swanland so we will enforce the parking rules.

This is a new addition to our priorities, and whilst nothing new was put forward at the Police and Community partners’ forum, calls for service for this issue have emerged as we enter the lighter nights and fairer weather.

April update

Visits have been made to the area already by PCSO’s and Police officers in response to complaints received. The nature is not usually about the manner of driving/riding but the noise that travels on the wind, disturbing the peace of residents who perhaps start to enjoy their gardens about now.

There is also a safety issue, as these locations are walking routes, so that should be borne in mind.

So how can the users of the motorcycles be dealt with. In the first instance it is hoped that communication and education would be effective, but if that is not successful other powers are available. Because of the location use of powers to seize rider’s motorcycles can be used. This works on a one warning and then seizure basis. Also the use of a fixed penalty notice (£30 fine) as an alternative deterrent can be an option.

Patrols when possible will be encouraged to check these locations to police the issue.

29/6/10 – Late evening patrol 21.15 hours located an adult male and his three sons from Hull using un-marked motorcycles on the local area of Brickyard Lane . The father was advised re his use of the location and the complaints that had been received from local residents. The group were checked and vehicle details recorded with a view to any future occurrence and the issue of Section 59 warnings leading to vehicle seizure.

23/7/10 – Multi Agency meeting with local landowners, East Riding of Yorkshire County Council and Humberside Police to formulate considerations for geographic location hardening to prevent off road motorcycle use in the local area of Brickyard Lane, Melton.

On other occasions in the month when patrols have visited there have been no vehicles present.
PCSO Jacklin has had a couple of meetings in the last month, both with the land owners and the council in repect of the fencing to the old Capper Pass site on Brickyard Lane, and also in respect to access to the lane itself that leads to the area.

Further meeting have since taken place in July and some progress has been made. The possibility of better fencing been put up and the installation of a ‘kissing gate’ to prevent vehicles entering the location are on the agenda.

The neighbourhood team have dealt with 15 people here during July as well. On 25/07/10 a day of action was carried out by the team, which was successful in that it deterred and prevented vehicles entering the area. We hope to repeat this operation again.

To Add another location that has become a slight nuisance in the last month, Common Lane at Welton, leading down to the sailing club. Youths have been gathering and sometimes entering the club, drinking alcohol and then releasing boats onto the lake.

Some success has already been achieved in that a large quantity of alcohol was seized from some under age drinkers on Thursday 17th June and again on 23rd June when the names of a large group was obtained at the sailing club. Their details are being passed to the anti social behaviour officer at East Riding Council for further action.
