Issue - meetings

There will be an update on local Policing issues in the area.

The Police were unable to be present at the meeting but Shobhana Patel, Community Safety Team provided an update:

The meeting was asked to note that:

·         Following on from concerns raised at the previous meeting, the lighting columns at the Lockerbie Shops are being upgraded and the work should be completed by 10 July.

·         A joint multi-agency meeting for all the wards covered by the Keyham Lane Policing Unit had taken place that morning.  Within Rushey Mead, anti-social behaviour (ASB) is an issue in the Lockerbie Shopping area.  In addition Shobhana reported that she was working on other ASB issues jointly with the City Wardens, on Archers Close, Hampden Road and Huntsman Way.

·         Attendees reported that some of the street lights on Fairfax Road had been changed, but some still needed updating.  The Chair asked officers to investigate this.

Actions:  to be progressed by the Neighbourhood Development Officer / Community Engagement Officer and relevant officers / Police as appropriate.

The Chair explained that there is a new Police Inspector for the area and a new Police Sergeant covering the Rushey Mead Ward. Residents would have an opportunity to meet them at a future meeting.
