WIVENHOE COMMUNITY SAFETY NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH
Ken Rogers report for July 2003.
1.
Criminal Damage at another play area
The lower play area (Dixon Way) has been severely damaged due to the
setting on fire of timber placed under equipment. This is a serious issue
as the children commence their holidays this week. I sincerely apologise
to the children and their parents that this criminal damage has taken
place.
During the past five weeks there has been evidence of illegal drug taking
in various parts of Wivenhoe. Police have been informed.
Any person with knowledge of those responsible for the criminal damage
please contact the Community Police Officer Tracy Allen or myself.
2. ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS
Two road traffic accidents have occurred. I understand, damage only with
no personal injury near the Football Ground and near the Flag P.H. These
are known possible black spots - please take care and warn others.
3. MOTOR CYCLES
There are instances of speeding and other dangerous antics. Not only
committed by youths, one person I advised for speeding and crossing the
double white line in Rectory Hill was over 40 years! PLEASE PLEASE TAKE
MORE CARE we do not want any further road deaths in Wivenhoe.
4. SCHOOL HOLIDAYS
Parents are advised to remind their children not to be involved in
anti-social behaviour and of the possible consequences of such action.
Importantly advise re the dangers of taking illegal drugs in particular
when consuming with alcohol. I am most concerned having to rescue
youngsters who are unaware of wandering and sitting in the middle of the
High Street. LIFE IS PRECIOUS.
Cllr. Ken Rogers.
Wivenhoe Community Safety Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinator.
