Hello Resident,

✅ Good News from Your Local Policing Team ✅

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and got to spend some very well-deserved time with family members and friends. The team have responded to anti-social behaviour occurring on our bus interchange, issuing PSPO warnings to identified individuals, and dispersing anybody in the area who were in violation of the order. Our officers have also arrested 2 suspects involved in a robbery on a bus, and the suspects are currently assisting with our enquiries. The team have also served a Community Protection Warning (CPW) to an offender who has been causing harm in our communities - these warnings are an essential step in controlling behaviour that disrupts residents' quality of life.

Can you help? We are still looking for volunteers to help with Community Speed Watch. Whilst monitoring our local roads and collating data over the last few weeks, I would say Cooks Lane is particularly in need of regular speed monitoring.

Is this something you would like to join in with?

Are you a resident on Cooks Lane or surrounding roads and would like to help us tackle this concern?

If the answer is yes, please drop me a reply to this message and I will get back to you as soon as possible!
