Old Bill Update

Went to the Neighbourhood Policing Panel at Sawston, representing Whittlesford and also Thriplow. Main points from the meeting:
- police have issued 12 parking tickets in the first quarter of the year (Jan - Apr) in Station Road, Whittlesford and will continue to target (see pic at left taken following day);
- regarding over-loaded vehicles on Station Road police ask for information, even if it is that X type of lorry goes past at Y time on a certain day. Then the police say they will try to be there to witness the offence;
- 7 out of 21 offences in Whittlesford for the quarter were actually making off without payment offences from the two garages on the A505. Police say this type of offence is rising and they need to get on top of it;
- police will continue to patrol Heathfield near the Iceni building on late evenings -  I fed back that local residents had noticed the police patrols.

Interestingly, there were eight burglaries in Shelford area, then an arrest (in London) and suddenly, no burglaries. Police observation - crims. often choose to work the areas they know, time after time.

Mind how you go
