Incidents of Anti-social Behaviour are down.

Neighbourhood Policing Team

Unfortunately it was Chloe’s rest day and she was unable to attend. The group wondered if it would be more useful to have the meeting on a different night as Chloe’s rest days coincide with the NeST. Chloe has on many occasions come to the meetings on rest days. Chloe asked that the group consider what they’d like for new priorities.

The current priorities are:

• Traffic related – Haydon End

• Anti-social Behaviour – Orbital

• Criminal Damage – Bowls Club

Suggestions were:

• Underpasses on
  Westfield Way
  – all three to be put on as a priority (especially after midnight)

• Haydonleigh Drive
  – speeding cars

• Bus shelter damage (the Swindon Community Safety Partnership has had success with a new ‘glazing’ product – Jane to e-mail Richard Palusinski’s details to Parish Clerk)

Parish Councillors

• MUGA – closed for a short period for repairs

• Dog fouling still causing problems in
  Haydon End Lane
  (dog bins have been asked for but not yet installed)

• ASDA trolleys – who’s dealing with it at Swindon Borough Council

Monday 21^st April 2008, 7:00 – 8:30 pm

Haydon Wick Parish Council Offices

1. Welcome and introduction for those present:

2. Matters Arising:

· Dog Fouling: Bins get full and not emptied. HWPC has contract agreement with SBC. Police can be requested, if required, to serve notices on owners.

3. Neighbourhood Policing Team:

NPT Update:

· MUGA (Multi Use Games Area) – making sure that any problems don’t escalate. Measures are in place to ensure this doesn’t happen (unable to disclose what). The person that opens up the MUGA says he is not aware of any problems and the young people have been very respectful to him.

Response from the floor:

· Youths are climbing over the fence and going back in once the MUGA is locked.
· No improvement of the issues that were happening when the NeST was formed.
· Road safety – young people crossing Westfield way on bikes, concerned there could be a fatality.
· Younger children are fearful of using Rushmere underpass.
· General perception of feeling unsafe.
· There have been four nights of hell in Cornflower Road caused by young people making their way home noisily.
· NPT priorities:

Bluebell Underpass

North Orbital

Graffiti

4. Parish Council:

· Aware of the issues raised.

• Is the Alcohol Restricted Zone at North Orbital dispersing drinking problems out into the community? There is no evidence to support this but if this proves to be the case and there is sufficient evidence then the zone can be extended.

5. Borough Councillors

• Lime Way continues to cause problems with youths passing through causing ASB
• Cllrs Renard and Barnett are meeting BCU Commander Paul Howlett on the 1^st July and will raise the issues discussed and are also asking for extra policing.

6. Any Other Business:

• Crime reporting: The ways to report crime were reiterated again.

  Action: Group asked Jane Dudley to put together a list of ways to report.

• Fly tipping – have the cameras caught anyone yet: Prosecutions pending.

The Fox and Hounds have offered their car park as a re-siting for the recycling banks.

6. Dates of future meetings:

Haydon Wick NeST Meeting Monday 21st April 2008 7:00 to 8:30 pm

Haydon Wick Parish Council Offices

Present: Carol Lemon Resident, Mark Lemon Resident, Bert Potter Resident, Jennette Davey Resident, Harry Davey Resident, PC Chloe Smith Beat Manager, Neighbourhood Policing Team Acting Insp. Andrew Carr Swindon Police, Rex Barnett Borough Councillor, John Archer Parish Councillor, Phil Eagle Parish Councillor, Richard Hailstone Parish Councillor, Stefan Luszniak Her Majestyïs Inspectorate of Constabularies, Dave Miller Her Majestyïs Inspectorate of Constabularies, Jane Dudley NeST Development Worker Community Safety Partnership Team

Apologies: Cllr David Renard, Bryan Telford, Diane Telford, Dot Avenell ï Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service

1. Welcome and introduction for those present: Swindon Police are currently being inspected and two of the Inspectors had come to the meeting to observe how communities are communicating with their Neighbourhood Policing Teams.

2. Matters Arising: Fly tipping at Haydon Centre ï Cameras have been used there but there have been no prosecutions. Safe and Clean Day: Graffiti: Tags cleared - 248 of which 7 were offensive and 1 was racist Litter: Bags collected ï 90 Dog issues: Warnings/people spoken to -

3 Vehicle issues: Penalty charge notices (double yellow line) ï 4, Untaxed vehicles - 3 Fly tipping: 1.5 tonnes Probation cleared litter from Bryony Way Swindon Commercial Services had a litter crew, graffiti crew and road/pavement sweepers in the area. Recycling Bins; Why not move these to ASDA Walmart, residents didnït ask for them at the Haydon Centre and with kerbside recycling now in place they should be removed. 3. Neighbourhood Policing Team: It is time to re-visit the priorities that were set as a result of community consultations. Three issues suggested by the NPT are ï Litter & Fly tipping ï Anti social Behaviour at the Orbital Centre (MacDonaldïs will soon be opening there and could be a magnet for ASB) ï Rushmere Underpass (also include Morrisons Underpass as this is the link to the MUGA (Multi Use Games Area) It was requested that Graffiti also be included. The NPT for Haydon Wick were praised for the work they have been doing in the area. Underage drinking: A large number of Vodka bottles (empty) have been found around Bowling Green, it is known that youths congregate here and it is suspected that they are the ones drinking. Receipts and carrier bags have been found. If residents come across receipts and carrier bags they will pass them on to PC Chloe Smith so that she can look at where and when the alcohol is being purchased. Greenmeadow School ï Theft of lead: Both of the perpetrators have been caught and will be going to court. Cllr Rex Barnett raised the issue of ïlosingï Police to the Town Centre at weekends, the Police Officers present accepted that officers are drafted in to assist with Operation Diamond (Town Centre Initiative). However this doesnït mean that the area is left with no cover, if there is a need for a Police Officer an incident in the area, it is likely that it will not be one of the NPT for Haydon Wick but more than likely to be an officer from the North Sector of which Haydon Wick NPT is part of. Tasking Group: The NPT needs to set up a tasking group to tackle the priorities. Tasking Groups will include Police, agencies relevant to the priority and community representatives. The NPT would like to use Haydon Wick NeST as the platform for this to happen. At Tasking group meetings, actions will be decided and who will be responsible allocated. This is so that residents are able to hold to account those involved. The process will become clearer when it gets under way.

4. Parish Council: ï Dog Fouling is a problem at Haydon End Lane. Action: Jane Dudley to make Dog Warden aware. ï Fast Food Sales on field Please pass on thanks to Public Health for dealing effectively with this.

5. Any Other Business: None

6. Dates of future meetings: Monday 22nd September 2008 7:00pm Haydon Wick PC Offices Monday 3rd November 2008 7:00 ï 8:30 Haydon Wick PC Offices Monday 19th January 2008 7:00 ï 8:30 Haydon Wick PC Offices

Notes from Haydon Wick NeST Meeting - 4th February 2008

Parish Council Offices

1. Welcome and apologies.

2. Matters Arising: Dog School, at the moment this is not causing any problems, the Parish Council has written to them, continue to monitor. Recycling: it is very messy on a Monday, Jane Dudley to speak to Richard Palacio in Environmental Services to see how this can be addressed. Fly tipping is a problem. (Black bags in Paddock Close need to be cleared ï this may be something that will be done on the Safe and Clean)

3. Neighbourhood Policing Team Update: PCSO Jessica Sowden is joining the regular Police; the new PCSO is Dave McCalmart. There are now two PCïs and two PCSOïs in the team. Haydon Wick remains in the Green Zone for crime and detection rates are still up on the force target. The Alcohol Zone at ASDA Walmart is now in place and there is a meeting on the 5th February to discuss if there is a need to extend the zone. The intention is to deal with over 18ïs who can now be prosecuted. The signs for the zone are not yet in place. Jane Dudley to speak to Cheri Wright. As mentioned previously only part of the area has been adopted by SBC, which is causing problems when implementing the law.

4. Safe and Clean: This will take place on 28th February 2008 in Haydon Wick. It is hoped that residents will join the agencies on the day.

5. Safe and Secure Action Day at Oakfield. This is a conference aimed at NeST members, Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinators and Community Beat Managers. Information about the day should arrive shortly.

6. Any other business: None
