NEW HORIZON OUTREACH VEHICLE
The New Horizon Outreach Vehicle (formerly CrimeBUSter Bus) is now back on the road, I will advise you when dates for local engagements are agreed, these engagements are ideal opportunities for members of the public to discuss any issues or concerns they have with representatives of Fenland District Council and the Police.
WISBECH RURAL FORUMS
. The Wisbech North Rural Forum took place on Thursday 21st February 2013 at Wisbech St Mary. The Mobile Police Station was located in Church Road from 11.30 – 18.00 hours for members of the community to come along and express their views and concerns. A meeting was then held at 18.00 hours where the result of 121 questionnaire completed across all the villages in the North Rural Area were reviewed, and priorities for the next 6 months were agreed.
Whilst the main priority identified was speeding in the rural villages, other issues and concerns that were highlighted will be tackled. Some issues raised involve other agencies and details of these concerns and issues will be passed to these partner agencies for their attention, these issues included dog fouling and Fly Tipping / Litter.
As regards speeding in rural location we are keen to set up local speedwatch groups, local groups will be able to borrow the speedwatch equipment and undertake speedwatch checks using their local knowledge of problem times and locations. The speedwatch teams will be supported by an experienced volunteer co-ordinator. The equipment can be collected from the Police Station at Wisbech or alternatively the Co-ordinator has kindly stated that he is prepared to deliver and collect the equipment if necessary, and of course offer assistance.
The information and data collected by speedwatch teams will then be used to identify areas where full enforcement action can be taken.
We will be contacting all those individuals who highlighted on their questionnaires that speeding was a problem in their area, to see if they are interested in becoming speedwatch team members in their area.
Police Community Support Officers will continue to undertake speedwatch, and we have already prepared dates for the rest of the year, to ensure that all 12 rural locations are monitored on a regular basis.
If you are interested in becoming a member of a speedwatch group please e-mail me at dave.russ@cambs.pnn.police.uk.
