Neighbourhood policing update Verbal update Minutes: Inspector Robert Wilson and Sergeant Nicholas Wealthall, Nottinghamshire Police, updated the Committee on crime and policing the area, highlighting the following:
(a)
there are ongoing issues with young offenders in the New Basford
area, but significant progress has been made through interventions
and support; (b)
Domestic Violence reduction is an ongoing priority. It is often
under-reported so there is a need to be supportive and make arrests
as quickly as possible; (c)
burglary in the Berridge area reduced in
July but the increased again in August. Most is in the Forest
Fields and Sherwood Rise areas; (d)
extensive planning has been made for Goose Fair to ensure that it
runs smoothly; (e)
a significant rise in anti-social behaviour reported on
7th September was due to travellers staying in the
area; (f)
there have been problems in the Sherwood ward with anti-social
behaviour at Selkirk Way and drug dealing around Bernard
Street; (g)
there are ongoing problems around the
prison where it is adjacent to housing. Trees and fencing have been
installed but there is no quick fix. High visibility days help to
avoid throw-overs but these are resource intensive; (h) there has been an increase of burglary of retail premises on Mansfield Road, and a slight increase in dwelling burglaries in the area.
RESOLVED to thank Robert and Nicholas for the update. |

Ward Antisocial Behaviour and Designing Out Crime Verbal update from the Portfolio Holder for Community and Customer Services. Minutes: Councillor Toby Neal, Portfolio Holder for Community and Customer Services, asked Councillors to look through planning applications for their area to identify any possible changes to reduce crime implications. There will be a report circulated soon with a list of observations for them to look out for.
Councillor Neal also said that information should be collected on problem residents and reported to Community Protection, and that Neighbourhood Action Team (NAT) meetings are being reviewed as there is some confusion currently as to whether councillors should attend. Sherwood councillors said that they feed into the NAT meetings but don’t attend. |

(a)
the Core Strategy, or Local Plan Part 1, was adopted in 2014. The

this will be th final round prior to
submitting for independent examination; (b)
there is very little material change in this round, with the main
focus remaining sustainable development and provision of family

if sites have been changed it will be either because the
development principles have been amended to better reflect council
priorities, as a result of consultation, or to reflect recent
planning permissions. Some sites have been deleted or reduced as
they are complete or substantially complete, or due to new
information from owners; (d)
there are four relevant sites in the Berridge and Sherwood area:
Edwards Lane – Former Haywood School site, Lortas Road, Haydn Road and Mansfield Road-
