Dear residents,
In April, we set three local priorities – Road safety and road traffic offences, drug dealing and drug misuse, and ASB nuisance motorcycles.
These were based on what local people told us concerned them most in their neighbourhood, as well as local crime statistics and information from our partners (such as the local council).
These priorities have been the focus of much of our work over the last three months and below is an update about some of the work we have been doing to tackle them over the last three months.
Road safety and road traffic offences
- Five vehicles have been recovered for various traffic offences
- One ASB warning letter was sent to a business who were using the road for an untaxed vehicle, along with numerous vehicles recovered for no tax relating to this
- Two community engagement events were held highlighting road safety
Drug dealing and drug misuse
- We have continued to develop intelligence around drug dealing locations across the area covered by the East Northamptonshire neighbourhood team
- Three out of court resolutions have been issued for drug possession with immediate justice referral.
ASB nuisance motorcycles
- We have seized one illegal electric motorcycle in Rushden
- We have issued one Section 59 notice to a vehicle that was being driven carelessly, off-road without authority, or in an anti-social manner that causes alarm, distress, or annoyance
Everyone who lives or works in Northamptonshire is invited to tell us about any local issues that concern them and the easiest way to do this is by completing our Local Priorities survey
