I attended the briefing from Sawston police team last Monday to listen to their update on the local crime situation and plans for the next few months, and to talk to them about our concerns, including vandalism at Whittlesford station, anti-social behavior late at night using cars and mopeds, and the need for parking enforcement.I spoke to Inspector Savage who said they would work with British Transport Police to step up patrols round the station in the evenings, and assured us they will take action on people using vehicles for anti-social behaviour. British Transport Police confirmed to me that the number of incidents is rising and would support a move to have CCTV at this increasingly busy station.
I reported back to Whittlesford Parish Council, and we had a discussion about NeighbourhoodWatch, where people who want to get one going are not too sure how to go about it, or how much the police will help. I have spoken to the crime and disorder people at South Cambs who tell me that Community Support Officers have been tasked to help, so I am on the case with PC Iain Perry to find out more.
