Current Priorities
Issue
Anti-social behaviour and seasonal crime on Victoria Park.
Action
We have increased our presence in the area as the weather has improved. We are pleased to say that the number of incidents has remained low despite some large events taking place, but we will work to ensure it stays that way. We are going to continue this priority over the summer/autumn, as part of our Safer Summer operation.
Issue
Vehicle crime, specifically theft of and from motor vehicles.
Action
During the month of July, one car was stolen and one items were stolen from within one other. This is a good reduction on previous months, where we were seeing multiple vehicles being stolen in one night. Crime prevention is a key part of the work we do - sign up to Neighbourhood Link to get advice on reducing this and other types of crime.
Issue
The use of e-scooters and e-bikes across Clarendon Park. E-scooters cannot be ridden in any public place (unless part of a government trial, which Leicester are not). Some e-bikes are legal and enjoy the same privileges as pedal cycles, some are too powerful and cannot be ridden in any public place.
Action
We have met with the public in two meetings to discuss this issue in order to get a better understanding on where and when the issue is prevalent. We have recently had a change in internal policy and so the seizure of e-scooters and illegal e-bikes should happen more often as part of daily policing and also specific enforcement operations. We anticipated an increase in the use of these vehicles in summer and continue to focus on this issue for the next three months as part of our Safer Summer operation, however are seeing fewer on the roads and pavements than we did 6 months ago. We will continue to focus on this priority.
