Local priorities
What You Said:
There are ongoing issues with Anti-Social Behaviour - specifically in the areas around William Parker School.
Starwell Close has been having problems with anti social behaviour - littering, moped riders driving dangerously, possible drug dealing.
Park Crescent - Stone throwing on to properties below.
Issue raised on 9 May 2012
We are working closely with William Parker School, whose pupils use these areas to cut to and from school. An increased police presence and also attendance by school heads at the start and the end of the day has seen an improvement in this issue.
Any further issues that occur we will be passing on to the school if it involves a William Parker School pupil.

What you Said:
There is a problem with Anti-Social driving and parking in the area.
The main problem area for parking is Blacklands School, Osbourne Close and surrounding roads.
Issue raised on 9 May 2012
We are encouraging residents to report all instances of poor driving to Operation Crackdown, which is accessible via the internet. This is a reporting tool which allows us to gather intelligence on poor drivers and target them.
We are conducting regular foot patrols in the area with assistance of the Roads Policing Team who have assisted in stopping vehicles for poor driving, use of mobile phones, and seizing vehicles for not having insurance.
We have recently been in the Blacklands area monitoring the parking and advising all parents if they are parked in areas where they should not be parked, such as on corners, on the zig zags markings, single yellow lines and also double yellow lines. Blacklands School have also put a message in the school news letter about parking to help advise all parents.

What You Said:
There is a problem with speeding vehicles in the St Helens area, mainly in St Helens Road and Downs Road.
Issue raised on 9 May 2012
A number of Neighbourhood Police Officers are now trained in the use of the speed management device, which allows us to check the speed of vehicles and where speeding is identified, issue fixed penalty tickets to drivers.
There are designated areas where we may do this and we regularly attend these areas to perform checks and also to provide a high visability deterant to drivers.
The team will be in the local area over the next few months carrying out speed checks.

Crime Mapper
Go to Crime mapper site
Crime mapping is part of a national initiative to enable members of the public to be apprised of crime levels in their area. The Sussex Police system provides crime levels at three levels: Force-wide, Districts, Wards/beats
How to read crime mapping data
For some smaller areas, the crime rates may appear high. This is primarily due to the low resident population within these areas; crime rates are calculated by dividing the actual number of crimes by the resident population and then multiplying by 1,000. Crime levels are then calculated using standard deviation, a way of fairly measuring and comparing the spread of crime across the force from area to area.
