Beat priorities

PC Mark Smith just commented on the post "Beat priorities" on Hursley Village - News Archive

I don't believe that the village needs to fundraise. Speeding will be dealt but please remember it does not mean persons will respect the speed limit. When we are there it has the desired effect. Unfortunately there are always rogue drivers out there who will speed excessively! Regarding schools we do have contact and Gavin and I have been to see the village school's head to get involved. We already do this at Otterbourne and Compton school, and my colleagues at Twyford who cover Stanmore engage at Kings School.

Regarding beat surgeries our first one will be am on Sat 03/04/10. I will ensure posters and details are circulated with times. I anticipate doing surgeries every few months and moving between weekday evenings and mornings at weekends.

I attended the Hursley Parish Council meeting this Monday with the view to
obtaining an update regarding the Flashing Speed Sign that we have been
patiently waiting for Amey to install for good knows how long.

It seems that Amey had not ordered enough sockets and therefor have been
unable to install the signs. Having said that, Hursley has the necessary
poles in place, and now Amey have the appropriate sockets, we are able to go
ahead and put the sign up. It was noted at the meeting that we should have
the sign up by the end of the week! Keep em peeled!

It was also reported (and on the HVI news comments page) on the Police
Report that a small speed enforcement operation was held in the village last
week and three drivers have been "dealt with" regarding speeding in the
village. Mark and Gavin (local beat officers) will soon be speed gun
trained, so we hope they will be in a position to deal with speeders more
regularly. They do say "discretion is out of the window! If you speed you
are going to be dealt with!" Finally an initiative called "Community Speed Awareness Team" (CSAT) was
also mentioned and seemed to receive a positive response from councillors.
This scheme is in use in other areas of the country whereby, in
collaboration and training with the local police, members of the community
are trained in the use of a speed gun. Once trained and authorised the CSAT
can deploy in the village and carryout a high vis overt monitoring and
reporting function using the speed gun. Data is reported back to the police
for their action and held in archive for continued data on traffic
statistics in the village. This is seen as a very proactive approach that
villagers can take in helping to raise the speed awareness message to those
drivers that continue to speed in our village. It was agreed at the meeting
that the HPC would investigate with the local police if such a scheme could
be started here in Hursley. I will report back on this in due course.

Regards
H

The Parish Council recently considered recruiting a "lengthsman" to maintain
the common parts of the parish for actively than at present.  This could
involve clearing footpaths and verges, removing litter and leaves, cleaning
bus shelters and signs, clearing drains and culverts, and so on – in general
any light-to-medium-duty work to improve the environment.  In order to gauge
opinions of what extra work, if any, is needed and how valuable it would be,
the following short online questionnaire is being conducted.  Please can we
ask that you spend a few minutes filling it in, as it will be very useful in
planning future services.

Dear Hursley residents,

Can I bring to your attention beat priorities?

As part of the Hampshire Policing Plan, your local Safer Neighbourhood Team based at Twyford want to engage the community of Hursley to find out what matters most where you live. What are your concerns and worries?

These will potentially become the priorities that Hursley want the police to act upon. We will then look to work with you and partner agencies for the area, and agree a way forward together to tackle them. Gavin and I want the priorities to be your choice, and we require  issues which are clearly current, relevant and impact upon your quality of life.

When priorities are agreed we are expected to give a result within a set period; some issues other villages have brought to us have been dealt with very quickly, whilst some are potentially very long term so resulting can be fluid depending on the problem. The main thing is you can have your say and hopefully see tangible results!

 Some issues that get brought to us are not a policing issue, but we maybe able to point out a suitable agency to assist.

If some of the issues you raise do not become current priorities, rest assured that Gavin and I will look to address whatever is brought to our attention.

I think that this website has the potential to give us our best priorities because of the good cross section of the village whom it caters for. We sometimes have difficulties from other areas getting priorities, and what we do get can sometimes be repetitive, not current, and from a very small cross section of people i.e. Parish Councils.

There is no date by when we need a response, so please think how we can solve your issues.

Thank you for your time

Mark & Gavin
