Anstey

The beat team aim to tackle different elements of ASB in Anstey, Thurcaston, Cropston and Newtown Linford. Highlighted areas were both allotments in Anstey,
Papermill Close and neighbouring recreational ground in Anstey
Mitchell’s Field in Anstey
Bradgate Park

We have patrolled all of these areas over the last month and specifically we have patrolled Mitchells field for youths parking up in an evening, playing loud music and littering, Paper Mill Close, Stadon Road recreational ground for rowdy youths, the allotments on Groby Road and the Nook car park for youths using gas canisters, although on our patrols these areas have all been peaceful and in order. We are also having some issues with some youths causing some antisocial behaviour on Hollow Road and we’ll be looking to try and identify them and have a chat with them about this.

We are still seeing people riding e scooters and illegal electric bikes around the village. Please remember that these are illegal and we can remove these from people – They aren’t cheap and you won’t get them back.

We have also received reports recently of motorbikes being ridden around in an antisocial and dangerous manner in Cropston and Thurcaston. We will be patrolling these areas and looking to seize these motorbikes and / or prosecute the riders of them in these circumstances.

We will be looking at Road safety issues in Anstey and villages, including speeding, parking issues (especially around school times), obstructions in Anstey (in particular parking on Cropston Road), vehicles not complying with traffic signals in the Nook, and use of electric scooters in public places.

The schools are currently closed for the school holidays.

Over the last month we have unfortunately been very busy and operational demand has prevented us completing any speed enforcement operations.

We are always monitoring speed complaints at existing and new locations. If you have information or concerns at a location, please let us know.

We are aware of areas where drugs are used, especially in public areas and causing distress for others. We are also aware of certain addresses and areas where drugs are dealt. We will be targeting these areas to try and cut this down. Please make contact with us if you have any information about this!

We have patrolled these areas over the last month, particularly the areas around Paper Mill Close and Burgin Road and continue to gather intelligence on our patrols from local residents. We will continue to patrol over the coming month and build intelligence to take steps to enforce when and where possible.

We take reports of drug use and drug dealing seriously and will enforce when we can, but this does also rely on us gaining intelligence from our residents – Please always contact us directly (either online, in person if we’re at our office or by calling 101) if you have information that we may find useful!
