Leicestershire Parish Councils

APRIL 2009

We have had one attempt to gain entry to a motor vehicle at the Packe Arms this month, which is linked to a similar offence at Prestwold Hall on the same day & involved to a stolen vehicle from Nottingham. Lynne & I have already discussed maybe making both locations part of a Beat Priority for the summer but will update the Parish Council more on this next month.

Can you also please update the Parish Council that as part of a speed enforcement day on Thursday 7th May speed checks were conducted in Hoton on Loughborough Rd & four motorists were dealt with for speed related offences. We plan to have further speed enforcement days around the Wolds villages over the summer.

Re Nation Caravan Rally taking place at Prestwold Hall from 22nd-24th May. Over 3000 caravans are expected to attend the event over the weekend & there will be a Police Operation primarily involving the Road Policing Unit to monitor traffic flow/congestion etc, although there will also be some hi-vis patrols of the event as well. As this is also the same weekend as Glastonbudget at Wymeswold it promises to be a busy weekend!

Dear Resident,
There has been a rise in crime with the Wolds villages during January. The Wolds villages are not alone as crime has risen across the Charnwood area in general. Please be assured we are doing everything we can to ascertain who is responsible and bring them to justice.

You can help by increasing the security of your homes and vehicles:-
Leave lights on timers
Do not leave curtains closed all day
Add extra locks to doors and windows
If you have additional vehicle security devices, i.e steering locks, please ensure they are fitted.
Remove all valuables from your vehicles
Remove satellite navigation marks and holders from the windscreen
Check and double check that your vehicle locks have engaged & working correctly.
If you can put your vehicle in the garage please do so

We have increased patrols within the Wolds villages and will continue to do so to deter criminal activity, however as members of the public you may be the first to see crime being committed in our area.
If you see anything suspicious call the police and tell us:-
If an offence is being committed
Full description of persons seen
Vehicle details (if any) especially the registration number
Direction of travel
Exact location

Regards

PC 4206 Lynne Gilbertson & PCSO 6647 Nigel Ritchie
