I have been working with Hartlepool Borough Council, Cleveland Police and Members of the community to combat anti-social behaviour across Hartlepool, particularly the epidemic of unlicensed off-road vehicles. At the Longbranch Homes site and across the coastal path at the Headland, it’s been heartening to see the community come together to tackle these issues, and I'm committed to keeping you informed every step of the way.
👮🏻♀ Meeting with Residents & Steve Turner, Police and Crime Commissioner. 23rd April.
In our first meeting, we had the privilege of sitting down with residents from Longbranch Homes, as well as Steve Turner, our dedicated Police and Crime Commissioner. We discussed the pressing concerns related to off-road bikes and Your input during this meeting was invaluable.
🤝 Meeting with Residents, Cleveland Police, Councillors Mike Young & Brian Cowie, and Tony Hanson from Hartlepool Borough Council. 31st August.
In our second meeting with residents, Councillors Mike Young and Brian Cowie, Tony Hanson: Director of Neighbourhood Services for HBC and representatives from Cleveland Police. We spoke about the new powers enabling police to seize and crush unlicensed vehicles, plans for further PCSO’s to patrol the area, and the introduction of smart liquid capable of tagging vehicles for tracing. We asked residents to report incidents using the COPA app, a simpler, more straightforward method that provides police with vital intelligence.
💷 Following our meetings with the Police and Crime Commissioner - Hartlepool Borough Council has secured crucial funding to tackle anti-social behaviour hotspots that have been causing distress in our community. 6th September.
This is a significant step towards reducing off-road vehicles and ensuring the safety and well-being of our residents. The funding will facilitate the deployment of four new Neighbourhood Patrol Officers and improved ways to report anti-social behaviour incidents. These measures will play a pivotal role in addressing the issues faced by our community, especially along the coastal path in The Headland.
