Patrols, Police Activity and local engagement

We have completed a lot of patrols of recent days where we have targeted areas such as local parks and areas raised as concerns by residents. Areas include Solo 1 allotments, Tilton Road Park and Sketchley old village area. 

(Solo 1 allotments off Brookside. Parks visited include Hinckley Road, Tilton Road and Rugby Road Park) We engaged with dog walkers and youths in these areas.

We are also completing work with HBBC around neighbours disputes, completing CCTV work around recent incidents and working with local schools regarding parking issues. 

Crime prevention and issues to be aware of

Dog Mess. Through my own experience (not a nice one) and through speaking to residents, people not picking up dog waste is continuing to be an issue in Burbage. Whilst most owners are responsible, it appears there are several people who still behave in this disgusting manner. If you are not responsible enough to pick up your dog waste, it raises concerns around the ability to own a dog. If you have evidence of someone not picking up their dog waste, please report here Report dog fouling to us | Dog fouling | Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council

We continue to do what we can around school parking and manner of driving around school areas. Further complaint regarding this issue from Sketchley Primary. We remind schools, partner agencies and parents, that keeping children safe at school time is a shared responsibility and ask those involved to consider the potential consequences of what they are doing and the impact it could have on someone’s life. 

Thank you and take care.
