What's happening in my neighbourhood?

Each month the Neighbourhood Specialist Officer delivers a report on what has happened in the area.

May 2012

Neighbourhood Officer PC Claire Sadler provides the update this month:

"The team completed a speeding operation with Roads Policing on Buckland Road, Bampton. Thirty motorists were dealt with, including two vehicles being seized.

A further 7 motorists were dealt with on the A361 at Bradwell Village.

"Four men were found by landowners believed to be hare coursing outside Bampton towards Black Bourton. Officers worked with the local landowners to locate these males who were arrested and charged. Vehicles and dogs were also seized.

"We were joined by Special Constables to conduct an anti-social behaviour evening in Carterton where officers were on foot and bike. A Section 59 warning for anti-social driving was issued and numerous youths spoken to about their behaviour and how it may effect others.

"We have been assisting with cycling proficiency at local schools in the area. This month's picture is the winning poster in a colouring competition for 4-5 year olds at Carterton Primary School after the team had paid them a visit. Well done to all who entered.

"Please be mindful to lock and secure your push bikes/scooters when not in use, even at home, as there have been several thefts in Carterton. We are doing our best to stop this but as the saying goes 'prevention is better than cure'.

"All are welcome to the Community Covenant Play and Activity Day on Saturday 19 May, 10am - 3pm on the Recreation Ground, Alvescot Road, Carterton. There will be numerous activities for all.
