NHW Newsletter February 2012

Neighbourhood Watch Newsletter - Kisl News February 2012
Jen Harrison, our PCSO, together with a Colleague, visited Willow View this Month and met residents. There were no issues of note to be reported. Inconsiderate Parking at junctions was mentioned by a couple  of residents . She advised that should a vehicle be parked inconsiderately that this is something that can be reported to Northamptonshire Police so that, where appropriate, an officer can be sent out to check on the situation. Please use the new 101 number to do this. Each incident would be looked at individually and if the vehicle is causing a complete obstruction of the highway, including the pavement, or the vehicle is causing immediate danger, then it will be dealt with.

Anyone who has Jen Harrison's direct phone number should note that it has changed to 101 ext 344275.

The Northamptonshire Police are planning an Open Day on Saturday 12 May, from 11am to 4pm, at Wootton Hall Park. The event is currently in the planning stages therefore the detail of all activities are yet to be confirmed, however the following demonstrations and scenarios will be taking place:

Last year this was a very popular event with many people attending.

If you wish to know what will be the Policing Priorities for 2012 after consulting with the Public please visit the NHW Page on the Village Web Site to read the full document - http://nhw.kislingburyonline.co.uk/2012/02/joint-consultation-project-on-annual.html

If you live in Ashby Close or Bugbrooke Road please think about volunteering to become a Street Representative for your street. This is not hard work, but it does help to make your neighbourhood more secure. These streets are more vulnerable than the rest of the Village as there is no obvious NHW presence. Please contact me (telephone number and email address below) if you wish to volunteer to be a Street Representative. Please see the Village Web site for the full list of Street Representatives at http://nhw.kislingburyonline.co.uk/2010/09/street-representatives.html.

  • Village news - The Police were called out to an antisocial behaviour incident in the Village and after completing an area search identified four young people responsible for causing a nuisance in the school grounds. A vehicle in Mill Lane, Kislingbury was broken into on Saturday 21 January.

If you wish to report an incident, or are suspicious about people in the Village please use 999 for Emergencies or the new 101 number for non emergency calls, or call me on 07855 388 751.

Local news -  Gayton - A red Nissan was stolen in Bugbrooke Road, Gayton on Saturday 14 January. Though I have not received any specific other Village Crime news for our region I still continue to get many reports of Crimes on Farms in our region.
