👮 What your local PCSO's got up to in October –

PCSO ROHMAN and PCSO HEARTY conducted many of vehicle and foot patrols within PATCHAM & HOLLIGBURY, focusing primarily on areas that are subject to anti-social behaviour. During these patrols, officers engage with local businesses and residents to understand any concerns and provide reassurance.

ROHMAN and HEARTY frequently attend THE OLD BOAT where they engage with youths, parents and staff to better understand their communities.

Visits carried out at ELWYN JONES, JASMINE COURT and MAYCROFT MANNOR to provide continued support, keep up to date with demand and expectation and to speak with residents should they need us.

PCSO HEARTY has been present at school kick out times to monitor and deal with zigzag parkers. Please bear in mind, you will be issued with a TOR: Traffic Offence Report if you are found parking on zigzags. It is also worth noting that traffic wardens are also frequently present and they are a little harder to negotiate with!

PCSO ROHMAN and PCSO HEARTY brought a cow back to safety after it had found its way to DITCHLING ROAD. Despite the dangers posed to the cow and road users, the grass was far too irresistible, it returned a further 5 times!
Mental note to self, cows are not fond of hi-visibility clothing!
