 G [[ The neighbourhood team have been working very hard this month on speaking and gaining as many new contacts in the community as possible, this is so we can make as many residents aware of issues in the neighbourhood by sending out e-mails and newsletters. Please contact us if you or anyone you know would like to be added to the list. This month’s figures on all crime compared to the same time last year has seen a quite substantial decrease. We have seen a 28% drop in all crime across the community. Crimes such as domestic burglary have dropped in the same period over 50%, with no reported motor v ehicle thefts at all! This is great news with officers continuing to target those known offenders who are responsible for these offences. The intelligence levels are also on the increase through members of the community passing information through Crimestoppers and to the Police directly. This information is vital and is used to target those responsible. Please continue to share this information with us. You can e-mail officers directly on the details provided, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously. You can also send us a tweet through our Twitter site.  As always, there are opportunists still out there. Please do not give them any opportunity to target you or your property. Keep all windows and doors secured, and don’t leave car keys/engines runni ng in these winter conditions. Report any suspicious activity to Police instantly so we can target any individuals + areas !

We have successfully executed three drug warrants, recovering numerous cannabis plants and related drug paraphernalia. One defendant is currently on bail awaiting a charge decision with another receiving a caution for his troubles and the last one being summoned to court. Cannabis is a huge problem for all; the smell is very strong and affects day to day living. It also increases the amount of criminal activity in the area, which ultimately escalates causing further Anti Social Behaviour (ASB). Officers are also aware of the problem with off road bikes. We have seen an increase in reports for this form of Anti Social Behaviour this month. Please keep the information coming into Police so we can target the person(s) responsible. The main problem area is Charlestown Road/Grange Park Road ; we need details of who is on these bikes and where they are being stored. Keeping with vehicles causing problems, Officers have seized a rental vehicle from a male who believed he could drive around in an Anti Social manor as he thought we wouldn’t be able to identify him. He will now have his day in court???

Please be aware that Officers will be targeting motorists this month in a clamp downon mobile phone use, speeding and seatbelts. This is part of a safety push from thelocal Police Neighbourhood team due to the adverse weather conditions. Weexperience a high volume of road traffic accidents at this time of year, and althoughthese accidents are generally blamed on road conditions, investigations show on

many occasions that the driver was at fault for a road traffic offence.

Please conform to the street furniture, including speeding restrictions, automatedtraffic signals. Many collisions can be avoided and decrease the number of casualties that are currently very high. 

There are many schools within our community and so we have thousands of childrencoming and going from school every morning and afternoon. Officers do attend theschools to give road safety advice, please be aware when driving around the schoolareas. Most of all do not use your mobile phones and please make sure your passengers and yourselves are wearing your seatbelts. They do save lives!

Please follow us on TWITTER for hourly/daily TWEETS on events in your area,including good work stories, Crime reduction Advice, crime information and appealsand local information. Twitter: @gmpblackley

We have recently signed up another 450 residents to receive our weekly and

monthly News bulletins/Letters. This is our way of letting residents/businesses

know what is going on in the immediate area where they live/work. We have

attended some of the high rise flats on Victoria Avenue East, Pennine Close,

Crosslee Road, St Margaret’s Road among others. We will continue our efforts to

speak with as many residents as possible in order to get this information out and

also ask what detail residents want in the updates. We have also received

information which hadn’t been reported. This has included issues with Anti Social

Behaviour (ASB) hotspots, drug dealing locations and vehicles involved. Without this

face to face contact we would never have received this information. Issues with

access to the communal doors in the flats seemed to be a great concern. This has

been added to patrol plans and the local housing office is aware, who have tasked

more patrols from the wardens. The management company at Freshfields have

been contacted about the use of laser pens. A leaflet drop was also conducted in

this block to remind people of the dangers of these pens. Hopefully this will negate

any more problems.

As always keep the information coming through on all the contact details provided

and if you would like to receive this Monthly newsletter via e-mail, instead of a

paper copy then drop me a line at [email protected]
