Swindon North Neighbourhood Policing Team – Rural North Beat

 CBM Marc Jackson and PCSO Juliet Evans

 We are your dedicated policing team who work with the community and partner agencies to address concerns raised by you.

POLICE MEETINGS – JUNE 2012

There have recently been several thefts of Lightning Conductors in the village, one from the School and the other from the Church. Both places had the copper cut from just over head height in secluded areas. There have also been reports of scrap metal being taken from gardens.

We would ask everyone to be vigilant and to keep any scrap metal or similar out of view. Please call if you see anyone or vehicles acting suspiciously. 101 for non emergencies, 999 for emergencies.

We would also like to add a note about cold callers. Last year several companies were touting for business in the Stratton area to block pave driveways, this is generally seasonal when the weather is better. Payment is asked for in cash. Within the rural area the off cuts are then fly tipped in fields and gateways along with other household rubbish. Please call 101 if you are approached for this or similar business. If you wish to have work done use reputable and established companies.

Every three months priorities are set based on what the local community tell us are their concerns. You can raise your concerns by attending one of the meetings listed below or by contacting us at anytime using the contact details provided.

Robberies around Nightingale Wood

The Wiltshire and Gloscestershire Standard ran the following article regarding robberies in the area:

 

DRIVERS visiting beauty spots in the Cotswolds are being urged to be careful with their belongings after a spate of thefts from cars.

Over the past two weekends six cars were broken into at Riverside Car Park, Lechlade and Nightingale Woods, South Marston.

Thieves smashed car windows and took items on display, including handbags.

Police have urged drivers to hide any items in the boot or glove compartment of their car while parked, or to leave them at home where possible.

Wiltshire Police have asked anyone seeing any suspicious persons or vehicles in these areas to call them on 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0845 555 111.

Police: Swindon Rural North Beat – November / December 2011

 

Crash Information Available Online

A new website has just been launched (www.crashmap.co.uk), which allows the public to search for and look up locations of every road traffic crash reported to the police since 2005, free of charge. This information could form an important part of a council’s campaign to lower speed limits or increase road safety awareness in the community.

This is the first time the public has ever been given such comprehensive access to this data and will allow interested parties to locate crashes in a particular area, see what date they occurred and how serious an incident was. A detailed collision report can also be downloaded. This is the part of the site where there is a charge for access. Anyone wanting to search the map can go to www.crashmap.co.uk

Police Update – July 2011

Police Advice from our Crime Beat Manager, Marc Jackson:

During the summer months, more people tend to venture out and about to enjoy the local country side and good weather. Please can I remind residents to ensure that when they attend local beauty spots, such as Nightingale Woods, that they ensure their vehicle is secured and no valuables are left on view.

We tend to see a slight increase in thefts from motor vehicles during the next few months. If anyone sees individuals or vehicles acting suspiciously around beauty spot car parks, please contact Wiltshire Police on 0845 408 7000.

Information from our Police Community Support Officer, Juliet Evans:

PCSO Juliet Evans will be attending the Meeting Point coffee morning at the Village Hall on 13th August between 11.00-12.00, please come and see me if you would like to discuss any police matters.

Also I am currently arranging with the Swindon Community Safety Team, for the Swindon Community Safety Bus to come to the village in mid August. This will promote safer Swindon and local areas, offering advice on various safety topics. I am also planning to do bike marking. Further details will be posted on the web site when this is confirmed.
