The People’s Priority for Local Policing

September 20, 2009 · Leave a Comment

E-cops have notified us that Cambridgeshire Police Authority and Constabulary are asking the people of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough what they think police should focus their efforts on next year.

For the first time ever a ‘People’s Priority’ will be included in next year’s Policing Plan, meaning that local people will get to decide what they think should be a priority for policing in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.

The People’s Priority – your chance to have a say The deadline for responses is 23 November 2009.

So – residents of Dry Drayton – let them know what should be their policing priorities for the year ahead.  If you are not sure what to suggest to them, here are a few examples emerging from the Dry Drayton Village Plan:

  • Better enforcement of speed limits on the C193 through the village
  • Action to reduce the very real threat to cyclists from speeding motorists on the Dry Drayton to Madingley and Madingley to Cambridge roads
  • Supporting CCTV in villages
  • Better communication between the police and the community – and this might include actually making the e-cops communication channel two way and answering e-mails that they receive via that route from the public.

Police activity in Dry Drayton

August 21, 2009 · Leave a Comment

A couple of months ago police prioritised dealing with antisocial behaviour in the vicinity of the School – until mid August. Does anyone know the outcome of this work? We have asked the e-cops but have not had a reply.

Meanwhile we clearly are getting some police attention in the village as according to e-cops yesterday:

” This morning for around one hour (0830 hrs onwards), PC Soni and PC Reeve conducted speed/seatbelt/mobile phone checks along Scotland Farm Road, Dry Drayton.  Traffic was light to moderate, and only one vehicle was stopped which was doing slightly over the 40mph limit and words of advice were given. There were no other offences. PCSO Karen Mahoney”
