Aylesbury West Neighbourhood Policing Team

September 2018

Here is the latest neighbourhood update from the West Neighbourhood Policing Team, covering Prebendal Farm, Meadowcroft, , Quarrendon

The team consists of Inspector James Davies, A/PS Russ McFarlene, PC Emma Norman PCSO’s Andrew White, Georgina Locke, Cameron Shave

You said: Prevent and reduce anti-social behaviour (ASB), in and around the Broadfields area

We did: Have increased patrols. A number of individuals have been identified and issued with Yellow Cards, in conjunction with partner agencies

You said: Prevent and reduce burglary and other serious crime.

We did: We have identified areas and carrying out high visibility patrols across these areas, to combat this.

Good news:

We continue to seize bikes, where ever possible, which have been involved in ASB, across the area.

A number of vehicles involved in ASB in the Tesco car park Broadfileds, have been issued with Section 59 Warnings and if they are involved again, run the risk of having their vehicles seized.

A property on Stonehaven Road was entered by Police. Once inside it became very clear that this was the makings of a Cannabis factory and one illegal national was arrested.

We are continuing to liaise with all partner agencies, in trying to resolve neighbourhood issues across the area.

Noise issues

We will continue to work with partner agencies regarding ASB. Noise issues such as music playing loudly is not deemed ASB and therefore the team are very limited in what we can realistically achieve. All noise issues need to be reported to the Environmental Health Services at the Local Council and housing provider who are better equipped to deal with these issues.

Parking issues

Parking offences in have been decriminalized, and the local authority have assumed responsibility for enforcement. In the rare case of police attendance over an issue of parking, it is down to the discretion of the attending officer to determine whether or not a ticket is to be issued.

It is not obstruction to park a roadworthy and legal vehicle outside someone else’s house.

If a vehicle is parked on a yellow line, it is the responsibility of the Council to deal with it, not the Police. Can we remind parents / guardians about the need to park sensibly when it comes to dropping off and picking up children outside schools. Parking issues outside schools need to be either reported to the head of the school and /or Highways at the Council, who will send out Enforcement Officers.
