Local Priorities

We will be looking at Road safety issues in Anstey and villages, including speeding, parking issues (especially around school times), obstructions in Anstey (in particular parking on Cropston Road), vehicles not complying with traffic signals in the Nook, and use of electric scooters in public places.

Issued: 1 Apr 2026

Status Update

We continue to work towards making our streets safer for both road users and pedestrians alike, as well as all of the above and we will remove cars that are illegal from our streets when possible.
We have patrolled school parking when we can. Whilst we appreciate that most schools have some issues with parking, parking on zig zags, double yellow lines, junctions, etc. is never acceptable!

Over the last month we have completed speed enforcement operations at the following locations –

Leicester Road, Thurcaston
Cropston Road, Anstey
Station Road, Cropston

We are always monitoring speed complaints at existing and new locations. If you have information or concerns at a location, please let us know.

Actioned: 30 Apr 2026

The beat team aim to tackle different elements of ASB in Anstey, Thurcaston, Cropston and Newtown Linford. Highlighted areas were both allotments in Anstey,
Papermill Close and neighbouring recreational ground in Anstey
Mitchell’s Field in Anstey
Bradgate Park

Issued: 1 Apr 2026

Status Update

We have patrolled all of these areas over the last month and specifically we have patrolled Mitchells field for youths parking up in an evening, playing loud music and littering, Paper Mill Close, Stadon Road recreational ground for rowdy youths and the Nook car park for youths using gas canisters, although on our patrols these areas have all been peaceful and in order.

Two residents of Anstey have this month been issued with Community Protection Notices (regarding their roles in causing or encouraging antisocial behaviour and drug use) and a further one has been issued with a Community Protection Notice warning for the same by Charnwood Borough Council. We’ll be keeping a close eye on them all for any breaches in these orders, and they may be escalated further.
Linked to this, one of the persons vehicles has also been seized by our team in relation to the associated anti social behaviour and will not be returned.

We are still seeing people riding e scooters and illegal electric bikes around the village. Please remember that these are illegal and we can remove these from people – They aren’t cheap and you won’t get them back. We are intending on having a pro active day on this in the next month or two.

We also do continue to have issues with electric motorbikes on Bradgate Park and continue to patrol here when possible along with the park wardens. We will continue to patrol these areas and any others that may come to our attention over the coming month.

Actioned: 30 Apr 2026

We are aware of areas where drugs are used, especially in public areas and causing distress for others. We are also aware of certain addresses and areas where drugs are dealt. We will be targeting these areas to try and cut this down. Please make contact with us if you have any information about this!

Issued: 1 Apr 2026

Status Update

We have patrolled these areas over the last month, particularly the areas around Paper Mill Close and Burgin Road and continue to gather intelligence on our patrols from local residents. We will continue to patrol over the coming month and build intelligence to take steps to enforce when and where possible.
Two residents of Anstey have this month been issued with Community Protection Notices (regarding their roles in causing or encouraging antisocial behaviour and drug use) and a further one has been issued with a Community Protection Notice warning for the same by Charnwood Borough Council. We’ll be keeping a close eye on them all.

We take reports of drug use and drug dealing seriously and will enforce when we can, but this does also rely on us gaining intelligence from our residents – Please always contact us if you have information that we may find useful!
