You said, we did- community update from your Daventry team

Dear residents,

In July, we set three local priorities for the Daventry area and surrounding villages including Brixworth, Moulton, Crick, Long Buckby, Woodford, and Weedon. These were road safety and road traffic offences, drug dealing and drug misuse, and rural crime. These priorities were based on concerns raised by local residents, together with local crime data and information provided by partner agencies, such as the local council.

These priorities have been the focus of much of our work over the past three months. Below is an update on some of the activity undertaken by the Daventry Neighbourhood Policing Team to address them:

Road safety and road traffic offences:

A number of speed enforcement operations have been carried out across Weedon, Charwelton, Staverton, Kilsby, Daventry Maidwell, Great Oxendon and Overstone over the last six months which have resulted in a number of speeding tickets being issued, as well as words of advice and warning letters being issued.

These operations also provided a good opportunity for our Police Liaison Representatives (PLRs) to join us and get involved.

In addition to speed enforcement, there has been a focus on other driving offences such as license offences, e-scooters and e-bikes and vehicle recovery for anything discovered to be illegally on the roads.

Drug dealing and drug misuse

Over this period, our focus on drug dealing and drug misuse has seen us conduct warrants under the Misuse of Drugs Act as well as locating and dismantling cannabis factories.

Alongside this, our officers have routinely used their stop search powers where appropriate to try and disrupt local drug use and gather intelligence towards identifying where these drugs are coming from.

Rural crime

Our force wide Rural Crime Team (RCT) has seen some fantastic results across the county and continue to focus their attention on our most rural communities, including those across the Daventry area.

This focus will continue going forward and our local officers are always on the lookout for opportunities to combine their skills, knowledge, and local expertise to work in conjunction with the RCT.

Everyone who lives or works in Northamptonshire is invited to tell us about any local issues that concern them and the easiest way to do this is by completing our local priorities survey every few months so we can be sure we have your current views. You can complete the survey here.

For more information about local priorities and how and why we set them, please read our Priorities Q&A here.

Kind regards, Daventry Neighbourhood Policing Team
