On 16th March, Angela Gilbert and Gay Dawkins, our street reps for Leaside Way and Summerfield Gardens attended a meeting of the “Safe Living Working Group”. This is one of several working groups through which the North Neighbourhoods Partnership does its business.
The most interesting part of the meeting was a presentation by Simon Theobald from “Crime Stoppers”. They are independent of the police; information can be given anonymously and calls are not recorded. Crime Stoppers then speedily forward the information to the police. Their number is 0800 555 111.
Security at St George’s School is to be improved by new fences and gates. The litter pick-up team will look at the area around the school and the adjoining woods.
The Dispersal Zone around Ventnor Court will continue but will not be enlarged.
