Howden

Drugs

The Neighbourhood Team are keen to disrupt this kind of behaviour in our community and encourage people to continue to talk to us and report issues so we can act on this intelligence by means of conducting warrants/stop searches when lawful to do so.

We will bring offenders to court alongside referrals to support agencies for substance misusers.

This is an ongoing Priority with intelligence continuing to be developed for Warrants to be executed at other addresses

Road Safety

Road safety continues to be a reoccurring issue within the ward area. Howden has recently implemented a community speed watch programme which will hopefully empower the local community to be involved in improving road safety in their area. Additionally there has been several reductions in speed limits on the road networks in and around Howden in an aim to improve road safety and reduce the potential for collisions. There are further reductions proposed which are being looked into with the local council.

Road Safety continues to be a Priority across all wards consistently. All NPT Staff have had training or refresh training for the Pro Laser for speed enforcement and regular targeted school patrols within Ward areas to give Words of Advice regards possible traffic offences and road safety issues.
