Local Policing Team
Our Neighbourhood Policing Teams consist of Neighbourhood Team Leaders (police sergeants), Neighbourhood Beat Managers (police officers) and police community support officers (PCSOs) who are accountable to their local community. A key element of the role is to undertake community engagement to understand community concerns and update them on police activity in order to build confidence.
They will work in partnership with teams both within the police (for example alcohol licensing and youth intervention) and externally (local authorities, Environmental Health and registered social landlords) to problem solve community issues. The underlying principle of our neighbourhood policing model is to intervene at the earliest possible opportunity to prevent an escalation of crime and harm.

Priority:
SCHOOL PARKING
Unfortunately, some parents and carers continue to park inconsiderately and dangerously, including on double yellow lines, zig-zags, and pavements. It is a common issue at lots of schools across the patch putting people at risk of harm due to pure laziness a lot of the time.
Action taken:
Our local team has stepped up foot patrols around schools to help keep everyone safe. While we always aim to educate drivers first to prevent it happening, we have had to move vehicles and will issue penalty notices to frequent offenders for obstruction and dangerous incidents. Double yellows remain a parking enforcement officers remit, as we cannot be at every school every day dealing with double yellow parking. The safety of our children remains our top priority and encourage council enforcement officers to continue issuing tickets for double yellows. Please help us keep the school environment safe for all. I am fed up of hearing your excuses. Thank you for your cooperation.
