A new year starts and I have been attending the first Parish Council meetings of 2014.
Quite often a police representative comes along to these meeting to present a Police Report. We are lucky in that we live in a relatively crime free area, and often no offenses are reported, but at present this is not the case.
In the last few months South Suffolk has been suffering from a small epidemic of break-ins. Sheds and garages have been the main targets, but there have been some house burglaries too.
The Police are always happy to advise householders on how to prevent this sort of crime. You can find contact details on how to contact your local Safer Neighbourhood Team here.
On the subject of community safety, the next Safer Neighbourhood Priority Setting Meeting will be at Assington Village Hall this Tuesday between 11 a.m. and 12 noon.
This is a chance to meet the police face to face and to express concerns about any aspect of safety in your community. If those at the meeting consider that your particular issue should be a priority, the Safer Neighbourhood Team will give it special attention. Even if your problem is not considered to be a priority because other issues are thought to be more pressing, some action is likely to be taken. All agreed action is followed up by a report from officers at the next meeting some 2 months later.
