Neighbourhood Policing Inspector Gan attended the last Town Council meeting on 21st February and gave a briefing on the new proposals for Neighbourhood Policing through the Safer Neighbourhoods programme. Firstly a consultation exercise will be undertaken to ask as many residents as possible what policing issues they have in our locality. This will be done via public meetings and street surveys. Once this has been done, the issues will be prioritised and the police, together with Newark and Sherwood District Council will tackle what has been raised. The Town Council fully supported these proposals and agreed to put Community Safety on the Council agenda on a regular basis. Inspector Gan will report back to the Council at the end of March. Opportunist Thefts Unfortunately these are increasing especially thefts from cars. SATNAV systems seem to be some of the more desirable items and motorists are urged to remove valuables from their cars and not to leave ANYTHING visible to tempt thieves. |
