The Greater Hinckley neighbourhood beat covers all parts of Hinckley except for the town centre.

The beat is a large residential area which also includes several schools, a college and three supermarkets. It also has a number of large industrial estates.

There is a 'community house' established on the Wykin estate which is regularly attended by the beat officers and acts as a focal point for members of the community to raise issues affecting their neighbourhood.

Current Priorities

Issue

Speeding of vehicles along a number of roads on the beat, breaches of weight restrictions and bridge strikes all lead to a feeling amongst the community that road safety is an issue. Along with multiple parking issues in regards to school times and busy roads

Users driving with no documents such as Insurance, MOT and Tax. With no licenses.

Action

Patrols have been carried out around Factory Road after reports of vehicle owners parking their cars on the pavement.

Issue

Anti-Social Behaviour - Ongoing issues with large groups of youths, particularly on public parks and open spaces, fighting, playing loud music, being abusive, drinking and using drugs.

Use of vehicle driving erratically and having noisy exhaust and revving the engines.

Action

Officers attended to reports of Quad bike riders in the area of Royston Drive, upon Officers arrival we were unable to locate them, would urge anyone with any information to contact us.

Issue

Reports of drug dealing and using at a number of addresses on the beat, with high interest to the rest of the county and other counties. This is attracting undesirables to the location and often resulting in ASB and disorder at the addresses.

Action

Cannabis use and alleged dealing around residential areas are being targeted with regular reports received from concerned neighbours. Intelligence and CCTV footage have been requested and submitted. Known nominals and perpetrators are being monitored.
