The beat team aim to tackle different elements of ASB in Anstey, Thurcaston, Cropston and Newtown Linford. Highlighted areas were both allotments in Anstey,
Papermill Close and neighbouring recreational ground in Anstey
Mitchell’s Field in Anstey
Bradgate Park

We have patrolled all of these areas over the last month, with thankfully no significant ASB reports. We are seeing some quite large gatherings of youths around the village, particularly on the recreation ground on Stadon Road. We will continue to monitor these groups as necessary. We are still seeing people riding e scooters and illegal electric bikes around the village. Please remember that these are illegal and we can remove these from people – They aren’t cheap and you won’t get them back.

We also do continue to have issues with electric motorbikes on Bradgate Park and continue to patrol here when possible. We will continue to patrol these areas and any others that may come to our attention over the coming month.

We will be looking at Road safety issues in Anstey and villages, including speeding, parking issues (especially around school times), obstructions in Anstey (in particular parking on Cropston Road), vehicles not complying with traffic signals in the Nook, and use of electric scooters in public places.

Due to staff annual leave and exceptional demand when we have been here, we have been unfortunately unable to complete any speed operations during August. These will of course resume during September.

The kids are back at school now, so we’ll be back to keeping our eyes on parking issues around the schools – Please let us know of any specific issues!

We are aware of areas where drugs are used, especially in public areas and causing distress for others. We are also aware of certain addresses and areas where drugs are dealt. We will be targeting these areas to try and cut this down. Please make contact with us if you have any information about this!

We have patrolled these areas over the last month, particularly the areas around Paper Mill Close and Burgin Road and continue to gather intelligence on our patrols from local residents. We will continue to patrol over the coming month and take steps to enforce when and where possible.

We thank those of you who have sent intelligence our way regarding this, please keep this intelligence coming!
