Current Priorities
Issue
We have seen a rise in wildlife crimes mainly involving animals (hare coursing, sheep worrying...) but also thefts from farms. The local NPT are increasing patrols in rural areas and liaising with the Police rural crime team.
If you have any information about criminality or issues in your area, please contact us using the form at the bottom of our team page.
Issue
We have seen an increase in the number of complaints around people using residential streets to park their vehicles while they go on holiday.
Where vehicles are parked illegally, dangerously or causing an obstruction, we will issue a ticket and authorise removal of the vehicle if appropriate for the offence; this will result in a fine and a release fee for the vehicle as well as a daily charge for the storage of the vehicle.
Action
A collaborative effort involving the airport, neighbourhood policing team, planning department, and immigration personnel was recently conducted with notable success. The team visited rogue car parking businesses and provided guidance on compliant practices. As a result, there has been a reduction in vehicles left on the roadside. Additionally, several taxis were removed from the roads for various reasons. We will continue to monitor these activities and remain committed to further reducing roadside parking.
Issue
The Neighbourhood Policing team remain committed on tacking retail crime as we know how much it effects businesses and the wider community. We look to target those who are persistent offenders and bring them to justice.
