Staffing • There had been no changes in Neighbourhood staffing • The Olympics had not affected local staffing • The Patrol Section had now been backfilled • Constable Jason Keating was recovering from knee and arm surgery and carrying out recuperative duties 2. Good News • The dedicated team had just been informed that they had won Sefton’s Neighbourhood Policing Team of the Year and would now go forward to the Force Awards on 8 November 2012 – which unfortunately clashed with the date of the next Area Committee meeting. Notwithstanding this, the outcome of this Award would be notified to the Committee in due course. 3. Operation Beachsafe • The additional officers recruited for beachsafe had now resumed their core duties in Sefton • A lot of people still visited the area and the vast majority were law abiding and respectful of the community • There had been lower crime figures this year – possibly as the result of a mixture of beachsafe patrols and the poor summer weather – a final analysis of the statistics was being compiled. • 974 units of alcohol had been seized • Parking had presented the biggest problem this year • Planning for Beachsafe 2013 had already begun in partnership with local Councillors, Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service, the Royal National Lifeboard Institution, 15 FORMBY AREA COMMITTEE- THURSDAY 13TH SEPTEMBER, 2012 Sefton Council’s Coast and Countryside Department and the National Trust, etc. 4. Crime Statistics • There had been welcome reductions in all of the crime figures, nonetheless, most of the crimes committed would leave a victim and as such, victim support and crime prevention was an essential aspect to policing. • 19 of all of the crime figures for July 2011 and also for August 2011, respectively, had been for Possession of a Controlled Drug (POCD), whereas there had only been 9 POCDs in July and August 2012. 5.

Crime Prevention • Operation Dragonfly - Inspector Atherton thanked the Area Committee for supporting Operation Dragonfly indicating that 16 FORMBY AREA COMMITTEE- THURSDAY 13TH SEPTEMBER, 2012 there had been 974 registrations to date. He indicated that the signage had now been installed and Smartwater kits were being purchased for the knock down price of £10 each.

AREA MANAGEMENT UPDATE The Committee considered the report of the Director of Corporate Commissioning on the area management activities that had taken place in Formby since the last meeting. The report indicated that the Neighbourhoods Division provided a co- ordination role for dealing with area issues. Queries were forwarded to the Neighbourhoods Division in a number of ways, via a number of different sources; and in order for Members to be aware of progress made on these issues the area management report had been compiled. 17 FORMBY AREA COMMITTEE- THURSDAY 13TH SEPTEMBER, 2012 The role of partner agencies would also be included in this report in the future to update Members as to how other agencies were working on area issues. RESOLVED: That (1) the Area Management update report be noted; and (2) Members or residents be requested to contact the Neighbourhoods Division with any further area issues. 27. FORMBY WOODLAND MONITORING GROUP The Committee considered the report of the Director of Corporate Commissioning on the Woodland Monitoring Group, specifically to consider the quarterly report of the Monitoring Group and an application from a Formby resident wishing to join the Group. Mr David Adams, Chair of the Monitoring Group presented the report attached as Annex 1 and answered questions thereon. Mr Adams drew the Committee’s attention to the Group’s concern at the future wellbeing of the frontal woodlands as referred to in paragraphs 5-8 of the report, that there had been no maintenance of the frontal woodlands for some years, and that this, by implication left doubt as to the future plans for the frontal woodland.

  • Walking and Cycling Guide to Sefton’S Natural Coast
    Walking and Cycling Guide to Sefton’s Natural Coast www.seftonsnaturalcoast.com Altcar Dunes introduction This FREE guide has been published to encourage you to get out and about in Southport and Sefton. It has been compiled to help you to discover Sefton’s fascinating history and wonderful flora and fauna. Walking or cycling through Sefton will also help to improve your health and fitness. With its wide range of accommodation to suit all budgets, Southport makes a very convenient base. So make the most of your visit; stay over one or two nights and take in some of the easy, family-friendly walks, detailed in this guide. Why not ‘warm-up’ by walking along Lord Street with its shops and cafés and then head for the promenade and gardens alongside the Marine Lake. Or take in the sea air with a stroll along the boardwalk of Southport Pier before walking along the sea wall of Marine Drive to the Queen’s Jubilee Nature Trail or the new Eco Centre nearby. All the trails and walks are clearly signposted and suitable for all ages and abilities. However, as with all outdoor activities, please take sensible precautions against our unpredictable weather and pack waterproof clothing and wear suitable shoes. Don’t forget your sun cream during the Summer months. If cycling, make sure that your bike is properly maintained and wear a protective helmet at all times. It's also a good idea to include some food and drink in a small day-pack, as although re-fuelling stops are suggested on the listed routes, there is no guarantee that they will be open when you need them.

He brings a wealth of knowledge of policing as well as a lifetime of experience working with citizens and understanding what we all want and expect from our Police service. Bob says, “Merseyside is only a small area, but it is remarkably diverse in its population and needs. The role of the PCC, is a job for someone who understands the whole area, not just one tiny part of the city of Liverpool.” Getting our 220 extra officers on the beat across Merseyside, not just in Liverpool City Centre – so Merseyside has a more visible policing presence. Working with community groups and the police to tackle anti-social behaviour – so together, we can cut the low level Bob Teesdale crime impacting our lives. – working to Get in touch: cut crime in Supporting targeted use of stop and search – so that [email protected] Merseyside. together, we can reduce violence – especially knife crime.

Sefton Coast Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention,3 we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas North (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.
