Police CAT Meeting 29th June

The last Police Community Action Team meeting took place on Monday evening, 29th June in Hale School.  The meetings format, for the last 4 years, headed by PCSO Steve Marnick will now be merged into future Parish Council meetings in Hale Village Hall.  Steve, during the meeting, explained why this was so.

 

Here are some items that were discussed during the meeting, which will in some form have plans of action carried out for the item by the Police or Halton Borough Council.

There where 7 house burgularies in Hale for the month of June.

Hale is still under surveillance by the Police unit known as “Vector”.

Numerous occurrences of loud music were reported during the previous weekend of the 27th-28th June.

Speeding vehicles and Dog fouling will now be one of the main priorities in and around the village.  Those caught speeding will now be summed to court and prosecuted/or summoned to attend a Police Speed Awareness course.  People allowing their dogs to foul on a public path and not clearing it up will be prosecuted.

 

To prevent wheely bins being stolen and burnt, villagers are advised to bring them in, soon as they have been emptied.

 

Locals were advised to jot down and report to the police, the registration numbers of any vehicles that they see driving or parking oddly, or indeed any suspicious looking vehicles/drivers around the village.

People parking up, in and around the school gates on the Curlender Estate/Hesketh Road will be moved on.

The main item on the agenda was that Steve Marnick had attended a training course using new mobile speed camera/s.  As of  Tuesday 30th June,, mobile speed cameras will now be in regular use in and around the village at any time of day. It was stated, that those who were caught speeding, will be prosecuted and/or sent to attend a police speed awareness course.  The positions of were the cameras were to be positioned, were mentioned to those at the CAT meeting.  Zero (0) tolerance on speeding was the aim when “Police Officers” will be in postiton in the village catching those who’s desire it is to break the 30mph speed limit!
