Welcome to Tranby

NOVEMBER UPDATE
during November patrols have continued in this area. Two youths were challenged with alcohol which was seized and disposed of. Warning letters have been issued and our partners in the ASB team been updated. Checks conducted during the evenings and weekends have been conducted with no issues raised.
DECEMBER UPDATE
Regular police visits were made to the area throughout December with about 10 hours of patrol time spent here. There no incidents or reports.
The local authority has now been granted a ‘no drinking zone’ for the area known locally as ‘Big Hill’ off Springhead lane.
Signs will be going up soon to advise that it is now illegal to drink there and an offence to carry on drinking when ordered by police or support officers to stop.
This was driven by our local PCSO Chris Wary, who found during the summer that the area was popular with young people over 18 drinking there, causing a noise nuisance and a problem with littering.
JANUARY UPDATE
A total of 20 patrols of the area were carried out during January and the parents of ten young people received warning letters to advise then their child had taken part in antisocial behaviour there.
We will continue to patrol the area and it will remain a local policing priority.

DECEMBER UPDATE
Our PCSOs and Special Constables followed school buses and found that some passengers were being abusive to pedestrians as they passed by. We then started to travel on the buses and worked with school staff to identify those responsible and to improve their behaviour. We also found two pupils removing seat cushions and throwing them at pupils from another nearby school as well as ripping seat coverings. Both these pupils were dealt with by police for criminal damage.
JANUARY UPDATE
There have been no new reported incidents and police patrols have not identified any further problems. We will continue to carry out regular patrols at school leaving times, but will now be removing this item from our local policing priorities.

Our PCSOs and special constables will, at various times of the day, be using an interactive speed board this month.
The interactive display gives a large visual readout of the speed of approaching vehicles, clearly visible to the driver. Although accurate, the equipment used does not provide calibrated results that are accepted by the courts in prosecution, but drivers will receive a warning letter from the police.
The purpose of the survey is to educate drivers and change their behaviour in the same way as the very effective fixed interactive signs erected permanently by the local authority (West Ella Road, coming into West Ella from Swanland, for example).
Both the police and the local authority have the highest confidence in this approach to driver improvement.

There have been 13 dwelling burglaries in this area since the beginning of October with a similar pattern. Most have been in Willerby but Anlaby has also had several offences.
Victims have been mostly elderly or infirm and the offender has gained entry via unlocked doors or open windows while the householder is inside, stealing cash or jewellery from the kitchen and bedroom areas before slipping out of the house unnoticed.
These offences have happened during the daytime or evening and I would encourage everyone to get into the habits of keeping their doors locked whilst in their homes, especially at the back of their property.
