What issues concerned you most in your area?
At the PACT meeting held on Wednesday 9th September 2011 you told us that you were concerned by people acting in an antisocial way in Coronation Park, Oughtibridge. This was usually between 4pm and 10pm.
When you identify a new priority to us our first response will always be to note the area for increased patrols, both by local officers and support officers from the Safer Neighbourhood Team, and also by the response teams. At the same time we will be looking deeper into the issue and checking what information and history we have for the problems, so that we can plan the most effective way to deal with it. We will update you here with our progress.
UPDATE for October
We have conducted a series of 'test purchase' operations in the Oughtibridge and Middlewood areas, checking that licensed premises were not serving underage people with alcohol. All the premises complied with the law and refused service to young people. As alcohol can often be a contributing factor in antiscocial behaviour, this is a good indication from local shopkeepers that they are doing their bit too.
UPDATE for November
Additional patrols in the area will continue throughout the winter, but we have just seen the Halloween period pass without the usual increase in incidents.
If you have any information in relation to this, or any other priority, in the area, please call the SNT direct on 0114 296 4912 and leave a message, or dial 101 for police callhandlers at any time.
