News from Babergh West Safer Neighbourhood Team

 The Safer Neighbourhood Team officers write:-

 You have told us that the priorities you want us to focus on in Babergh West are currently:

·         To address parking problems, congestion and obstruction offences in the vicinity of Boxford Primary School when parents are dropping and collecting their children (CO105NP).

·         Reduce the instance of Burglary other buildings in Long Melford and Lavenham. 

As a result, your team is taking the following action:

·         Working with the Parent Association and staff at Boxford Primary School to ensure the issue is addressed again in school newsletters and on school bulletin board. Create a letter which can be put into the children’s book bags highlighting the dangers of inconsiderate parking to educate parents. Issue advisory notes where parking is inconsiderate.  Where parking is illegal take enforcement action by issuing tickets.

·         Carry out both high visibility reassurance patrols, but also covert patrols in the affected areas.  Raise awareness of crime reduction measures the public can take to protect their property with the use of Immobilse, property marking and securing their premises. 

We want to hear your views on local crime and policing.

To help with this, we hold regular meetings where you can tell us your concerns and set our priorities.

Forthcoming meetings are shown below:
