The community have stated that ASB is a concern within the Charnwood East area.

In response to growing concerns from residents about anti-social behaviour (ASB) in the Charnwood East area, particularly in Thurmaston, a series of proactive measures have been implemented. Joint visits have been carried out at The Styles and Offranville Close, where officers engaged directly with members of the community to listen to their concerns and offer support. A leaflet drop was also completed in the area, aimed at gathering valuable intelligence related to drug use and other ASB-related issues. In addition, enquiries are ongoing into reports of youths riding quad bikes in a dangerous or disruptive manner. This behaviour not only poses a significant safety risk but also contributes to noise and general nuisance within the neighbourhood. To provide visible reassurance and deter further incidents, high-visibility patrols have been significantly increased in key hotspot areas, including Checkland Road, Thurmaston Retail Park, Hilltop Road, and Barkby.

Patrols will continue at these locations, as well as any newly identified areas, to maintain a visible presence and ensure the ongoing safety of the community.

The community have stated that speeding and parking issues are a concern at various locations throughout the Charnwood East area.

Speeding and parking issues have been raised as ongoing concerns by residents across several areas in Charnwood East. In response, targeted enforcement and monitoring activities have been carried out to address these issues and improve road safety. A speed and safety enforcement van has been deployed along key routes including the A607 Newark Road in Thurmaston and Melton Road in Rearsby. In addition, speed checks have been conducted on Main Street in South Croxton, with further monitoring in Queniborough and South Croxton to address persistent speeding concerns. Officers have also visited the junction of Humberstone Lane and Newarke Street following reports of drivers running red lights.
These actions form part of a wider strategy to tackle road safety concerns, and further operations are planned in areas that have been highlighted by the community as needing attention.

There has been an increase in residential burglaries with Charnwood East area.

There has been no increase in burglary dwelling incidents reported this month, which is a positive development for the community. However, the team remains vigilant and continues to work closely with our CID colleagues to support ongoing investigations and provide reassurance to all affected parties.
In response to recent incidents, patrol plans are being adjusted to include the areas impacted, ensuring a consistent and visible police presence. This approach aims to deter further offences, assist with enquiries, and maintain community confidence.
