Neighbourhood Priorities

ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR-

There has been an increase of youths causing nuisance over the last few weeks in different parts of the beat. We have made this our priority to patrol these areas as much as we can.
ASB-Through Neighbourhood Link, ASB Call Backs and Social Media accounts, the community have raised the issue of Anti-Social Behaviour on the Melton Town North Beat.

Issue Date Thursday 6th June 2024

The Beat Team have been informed that there has been inconsiderate parking around Meadow Way specifically around school opening and closing time. This is not only dangerous for members of the public, including children as well as other vehicles. We are pleased to say that during our attendance there have been limited amount of cars parking dangerously/ inconsiderably. We have sent out letters of advice to members of the public in the area whos child/children attend to the school. Since then we have seen a massive improvement with the parking.

We fully appreciate the negative impact resulting from ASB and how it can affect people mentally and physically, so please do not hesitate to report ASB to Police online via https://www.leics.police.uk/ , or by calling the Police on 101, (always 999 in an emergency).
