Hi

Below is the latest Rutland South beat Police report of crimes within the local area

4/1/16 – Theft of diesel from HGV – Empingham road, Tinwell

14/1/16 – Theft of diesel – Main street, Stoke Dry

18/1/16 – Theft of diesel and battery – Gretton road, Lyddington

2/2/16 – Theft from unattended motor vehicle – Empingham road, Ketton

2/2/16 – Burglary other than dwelling (shed) – Church lane, Glaston

Our current Problem Solving Plans are tackling burglary related crime in Ketton and also hare coursing along the corridor villages along the A47.

There has been an increase in reports of hare coursing in the past 2 weeks around the Wing to Glaston area and the Barrowden to Seaton area.

We are carrying out high visibility patrols in all the above locations to target offenders & liaising with neighbouring forces. Currently there is a matrix warning sign on Luffenham road, Ketton warning motorists of police operations in the area.

As you can see from the above crime for the last month, there have been 4 shed breaks. Please review your home security and if you need any advice, please feel free to contact me.

Remember we currently sell padlock alarms for £8.50, which would be ideal for a shed.

Regards

Speeding in North Luffenham

One of the recurring topics highlighted to the Parish Council is the issue of vehicles speeding in the village environs.

The Parish Council is working on this problem in several ways:

  • Requesting Rutland County Council to reduce the speed limit on Edith Weston road from 40 mph to 30 mph
  • Considering the Installation of warning speed signs similar to those used in Edith Weston & South Luffenham (potentially with the facility to count the number of vehicles exceeding the limit)
  • Requesting Rutland County Council to reduce the speed limit on Station Road from 60mph to 40 mph

These activities are dependent on factors such as agreement from Rutland County Council, and funding.

One “self help” action the village could undertake without any dependency on other organisations would be to set up a Community Speed Watch organisation.

This would enable members of the village population to be trained in the use of a speed gun, and the loan of a calibrated speed gun for a specific period of time.

The idea is that the trained village volunteers can use the speed gun to check the speeds of vehicles within the village over a period of time, and report details of vehicles found to be over the relevant limit to the Police. The Police will then potentially send letters to the drivers of the vehicles warning them that they were observed exceeding the speed limit.

In order to start a scheme such as this, proof is needed that at least 20% of the village population support the suggestion for the scheme, and between 6 and 16 people are willing to actively participate in the vehicle checks. 20% of the North Luffenham population would be 130 people.

I would like to gauge the level of interest in such a scheme for North Luffenham – as speeding is a recurring topic, I’m assuming people would be all for it 🙂

If you think its something worth pursuing, could you please email me at pete.burrows@northluffenham.com  – if it looks like we can hit the target of 130 people supporting a scheme, we can start the process of registering, gathering the formal interest documents from the people who are interested, and look to have the scheme implemented this year.

More information on the scheme can be found here:

January talk from Charley Streather (Blesma)

Members and visitors had a very interesting evening hearing how Charley set up photography courses and trips for Army veterans.  He told some  amusing anecdotes on how the amputees overcome their disabilities to become great photographers.  What amazing people and it was very evident that Charley gained a lot of satisfaction from his very worthwhile job.  Many thanks to him and we hope that he will return to the club again. (www.blesma/photography.org)

The next meeting is on March 7th   (please note change of usual evening)  when Hazel Burnham will give us an insight into how she uses her camera to have fun with her artwork.

The theme for photographs at this meeting is “New Life”  – very topical for these next months.
