Local Priorities

The community have raised ongoing concerns regarding a series of bike robberies occurring within the area, highlighting the need for increased visibility and targeted patrols. In addition, both the parish leader and local community volunteers have identified several locations that continue to suffer from persistent speeding issues. Areas specifically mentioned include Eastham Village, Bridle Road and Ferry Road, where residents have expressed worries about road safety and the impact on pedestrians and local traffic. This feedback reflects a strong desire from the community for enhanced enforcement and preventative measures to address these emerging priorities.

Issued: 5 Mar 2026

Status Update

In response to these concerns, local officers have increased high-visibility patrols in areas affected by bike robberies, alongside conducting targeted operations to identify offenders and reassure residents. Officers are also engaging with schools, youth groups and local partners to promote bike security and encourage reporting of suspicious behaviour. To address the speeding issues highlighted by the parish leader and community volunteers, the neighbourhood team has carried out speed‑monitoring deployments across Eastham Village, Bridle Road and Ferry Road, working closely with Roads Policing and the Local Authority. These operations aim to deter dangerous driving, gather enforcement data and ensure that community feedback directly shapes future policing activity.
