Local police reveal priorities

Delapre and Briar Hill police have revealed their priorities for the autumn months.
Speeding on the Rothersthorpe Road, inconsiderate parking outside Hunsbury Park Primary School and fly tipping are among the problems the areas safer community team has pleged to tackle.

The team is also encouraging people to use anti-burglar paint on garages across Delapre and Briar Hill.
Tackling speeding and parking issues on Rothersthorpe Road is sited as a major problem following complaints from residents.
The SCT has promised to carry out speed enforcement work on the road, including the introduction of a temporary flashing speed sign that advises drivers how fast they are going.
The team is also planning to tackle illegal parking outside Hunsbury Park Primary School in Dayrell Road, Camp Hill.
Speed enforcement work will take place there over the coming weeks, while a long term solution is sought through an alternative pick up and drop off point.
Fly-tipping remains another hot topic, with the SCT set to hold a meeting with Housing Solutions and the County Traveller Unit to agree terms about joint visits to new traveller encampments.
And a new initiative from the team's Sergeant Pender will see them encouraging all garage owners in Far Cotton, Delapre and the Rothersthorpe Road areas to use anti-burglar paint to prevent offenders climbing on the roofs of garages.
Finally, the team reported that there has been a vast improvement to the parking issues in Southbridge since signs, detailing the parking restrictions, were installed. Parking in the area is being monitored and will be reviewed in three months time.
