Forgot to post this last week - went along to the Sawston sector neighbourhood policing meeting - a quarterly meeting between the police, headed by local inspector Chris Savage, and various parish councillors, district and county councillors. One key point is that this is a pretty safe area, in terms types and level of crime. Issues raised for Whittlesford and Thriplow:
- recreation ground at Whittlesford being regularly patrolled but the youths hanging around seem to have moved into the Lettice Martin Croft/Butts Green area near the garages. Police agree to broaden their patrols;
- track between Whittlesford and Thriplow. Youngsters on trial bikes tearing up and down. Police (aka e-coppers Chris and Gary) collared a few recently and marched them back to their parents for a few well-chosen words of advice - quiet since then say the police;
- break ins at the village shop storage in Thriplow and a farm in Whittlesford and on the recreation ground at Whittlesford. Police crime prevention people agree to visit to give some advice. Thriplow also hoping to get South Cambs to help with the costs of the anti-theft devices.
