Community Safety in the Dearne (Dac.18.09.2017/3)

Minutes:

Fiona Tennyson, Community Safety Team Leader, and Rachel Dickinson, Victim and Witness Support Officer, were welcomed to the meeting.  Members were made aware that the major issue in the area of late was the use of off- road bikes, with one being seized the previous week.  It was noted that this was also an issue in other areas outside of the Dearne.

 

Members also discussed issues around Low Grange Road, which had been subject to a Community Trigger.  Members noted that the number of reports related to St. Andrews Square had reduced, however anecdotally issues still remained, but these were largely low level.  The importance of reporting issues was stressed, noting that this could be via 101, Councillors, PACT meetings, through email, or a variety of other means.

 

Members discussed the siting of the CCTV camera on Straight Lane, and whether this had been moved and it was agreed to seek clarification on this matter.

 

The work landlords had undertaken around Victoria Street and Coop Street was commended, and the difference seen in the area was noted.

 

The meeting discussed issues around Frederick Street, and it was noted that these would be investigated further.

 

RESOLVED that the report be noted.
