We are working closely with the council and roads policing units to solve the issues around Queen Marys Drive. We are doing regular patrols in the area which stops the problems whilst we are present, however once we have left the issues arise once again. We are planning a joint action day of enforcement with the council which will have a greater impact on the issues.

PC Shrestha will continue to do speed enforcement in these roads. We are also working with the roads policing team who have equipment to monitor speeds down the problem roads. We are encouraging residents to assist us by participating in Speed Watch, this enables the police to train the residents on a hand held speed detection device and those who speed get a warning letter.

Action

A young person undertook litter picking and washing vehicles in the neighbourhood on two occasions as part of the restorative justice and community payback scheme under police supervision.  This has had a positive effect amongst the youngsters which has seen a marked decrease in anti social behaviour in the area

A vehicle was seized under S165A of the Road Traffic Act 1988.  The residents were also grateful for the update they received soon after the vehicle was taken off the road.

Drivers have been identified and warnings given regarding their unacceptable behaviour towards members of the public.  School children will be spoken to in due course and advised to make their parents aware of the dangers of inconsiderate parking, blocking people’s driveways, parking by junctions and mini roundabouts etc.  Speed watch was carried out along Queen Mary’s Drive and driver alerts, endorsable fixed penalty notices were issued to motorist.  Furthermore, for issues relating to inconsiderate parking along Queen Mary's Drive and the adjoining side roads we have liaised with the Councillors, Highways Department, Roads Policing Community Support Officers and the Parking Enforcement department to monitor the inconsiderate parking and deal with any double yellow lines parking issues accordingly. Furthermore, we have also sent considerate parking advice to parents incorporated in school's newsletters and school children will also be spoken to in order that they will be able to enlighten their parents regarding the dangers of inconsiderate parking and dangerous driving.

22 residents attended the New Haw and Woodham Panel Meeting on Wednesday, 11 July 2012.

The meeting was updated regarding the recent fire incident of Sun 1 Jul 12 at about 07:45pm whereby the back of the butcher's shop was gutted by fire which is believed to have started from the bin by the alleyway behind the butcher's shop which contained discarded cardboard material.  The residents were further reassured that the police were doing everything within their power to bring those responsible to justice.  Two suspects were arrested on suspicion of arson at the scene by police who discovered the fire during regular patrol.  Suspects have been bailed pending further investigation and those local youths present prior, during and after the incident are in the process of being interviewed volutarily by the local neighbourhood detective regarding their side of the story to ascertain what actually happened.  Residents have been advised to contact the police at the earliest opportunity should they have any relevant information which would assist the police investigation.  The local neighbourhood team always conduct a high visibility patrol during tour of duty in order to reassure the residents in and around the Broadway.  Every necessary help has been provided to the victims of this very unfortunate incident. 

Furthermore, anti-social behaviour by youths in Heathervale Park and the Broadway are dealt with robustly and proportionately whereby over the tour of duty the youths are stopped, accounted for and spoken to in an appropriate manner and words of advice/warning given regarding reckless behaviour, criminal damage and public order offences which results in arrests.

There are parking issues along Queen Mary's Drive and adjoining side roads whereby parents during school runs are parking inconsiderately along footpaths, grass verges, driveways and even on the zig zag lines and when advised not to do so resort to anti-social behaviour towards residents. Drivers have been identified and warnings given regarding their unacceptable behaviour towards members of the public.

For issues relating to inconsiderate parking along Queen Mary's Drive and the adjoining side roads we have liaised with the Councillors, Highways Department, Roads Policing Community Support Officers and the Parking Enforcement department to monitor the inconsiderate parking and deal with any double yellow lines parking issues accordingly. Furthermore, we have also sent considerate parking advice to parents incorporated in school's newsletters.

Furthermore, youngsters littering the park area with dog excrement from bins were speedily identified and then made to carry out community service by picking up the litter and tidying up the park accordingly, then anti social behaviour warning letters were handed out to the miscreants in the presence of their parents.
