Minutes:
Katalin Kiss and Tom Lynk, Community Protection Officers, gave a verbal update to the committee on work taking place within the wards. They highlighted the following points:
(a) student engagement and enforcement has been taking place in Radford, Park, Lenton and Derby Road;
(b) the academic year to date has seen 866 Community Protection Notice Warnings (CPNWs), 101 Community Protection Notices (CPNs), 62 Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs), 410 alcohol confiscations and 1043 Section 46s (bin on street enforcement) issued;
(c) a further breakdown of these figures shows that 277 CPNWs, 75 CPNs and 55 FPNs were issued for bins on the street, whilst 589 CPNWs, 26 CPNs and 7 FPNs were issued for noise levels.
(d) large scale parties have reduced in recent years, although there is still a problem with loud music in student houses and taxis arriving back to student houses in the early hours;
(e) late night patrols have been taking place in conjunction with support from the Universities;
(f) there has been an ongoing issue with fly-tipping in Radford and Park with 4 or 5 individuals being caught and fined;
(g) begging in Radford and Park has increased due to pressure on spaces in the city centre pushing homeless people further out into the inner city areas.
The Committee’s questions were responded to as follows:
(h) fly-tipping has become a real issue on Churchfield Lane and the Lenton triangle.
Inspector Riz Khan, Neighbourhood Policing Inspector for Arboretum, Berridge, Dunkirk and Lenton, Radford and Park and Wollaton East and Lenton Abbey, gave a verbal update on policing issues in the area.
The Committee’s questions were responded to as follows:
(i) initiatives are being developed with funding from the Police Crime Commissioner’s Office to tackle drug crime in Arboretum. Additional patrols have been taking place in and around the Forest Recreation Ground;
(j) regarding the increase of 22 Crimes of Violence with Injury in Lenton, 50% of these offences have been reported at the Queen’s Medical Centre, so not all have happened on the area, but because the QMC is in the Dunkirk Ward, the figures are skewed;
(k) with the increase of 85 Crimes of Violence with Injury in Radford & Park, there are no patterns or significant repeat locations, the crimes are scattered around the ward, so no specific hot spot can be targeted;
(l) scatter maps can be provided for councillors to help them understand where the crime hot spots are in their wards.
RESOLVED to note the crime statistics for Arboretum, Dunkirk and Lenton, Radford and Park.
