My primary aim as your local Councillor is to keep Brambleside safe, clean and tidy for the benefit of all residents. Here are some of the ways in which I have been working on your behalf to achieve a safer Brambleside over the last few months.
Delivering crime prevention packs
I recently teamed up with Councillor colleagues in All Saints Ward, Police, Fire and KBC Community Safety officers to deliver Crime Prevention Packs to residents in the Pleasure Park area. Your local Conservative Councillors continue to back the installation of CCTV in the area which has been strongly supported by local residents in a recent public consultation.
Elsewhere, the installation of alley gating in our terraced streets continues along with the delivery of security devices to targeted locations. This is the culmination of many years of partnership working between Police, Council and your local Councillors. Thanks to the valued support of our Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Stephen Mold, £280,000 of grant funding has been secured to support community safety improvements like the above.
Northants Police 'Day of Action' in Brambleside - police meeting held
County Councillor Bill Parker and I recently met with Sergeant Matt Rock of Northants Police. We discussed resident concerns about various crime issues in Brambleside. A Police 'Day of Action' was subsequently held in Brambleside Ward on Wednesday 25th November. We will continue pushing on these matters to ensure local crime matters remain high on the agenda of Police and partners.
