Warsash Residents Association Speeding Campaign well underway. Locks Heath / Western Wards Police report for 29th Sept

Well done to Warsash Residents

association for all the effort they are putting in to try and address the issueof speeding in Warsash [story here] - obviously we are happy to be involved in this with them. Members

of the team have been out with the Vice Chair of the Warsash residents

association carrying out speed checks. We are now generating letters warning

drivers that they have triggered the speeding device and this has provoked

several replies. Some are actually quite polite! Obviously we will continue to

cover the area in this fashion.

Please be aware we have seen a

rise in theft from motor vehicles lately and this is continuing on the West and

East. Main targets are insecure vehicles and Sat Navs. As ever remember that vehicles need to be locked and take your sat nav out of your vehicle when

you leave it whenever possible.

Overall however the area has been

quite good. We are now looking to do some work and local Operations in relation

to Fireworks night and Halloween. This will most likely be along an educational

theme and also involve the Fire Service.

The new Parking measures at

Whiteley appear to be working well at this time. Once again this is down to

joint working between Police, Councillor Woodward, Schools, Highways and

parents. It's yet more proof that if various agencies and the community work

together we can get results. Obviously both the Police and Council enforcement

will pay visits to the area and enforce where necessary.

As expected, the parks are

starting to fall off the Radar now that the darker nights are pulling in. That

said, Council ACSO's seized a quantity of alcohol in St Johns Park recently.

Even though we have been seizing alcohol for the best part of 3 years some

youths still don't seem to get it. As a result we will be running Operations to

target this over October half term.

That's all for now,
