The Minutes
of Brandesburton Neighbourhood Watch held on
Monday 24th October
2011.
PC Janet
Bates was present. Geoff Youngson
chaired the meeting which 7 people attended.
Apologies
were received from Mrs Mossford and Mrs Harrison.
The minutes were read and
signed.
Youths in
the village have been a nuisance mainly in the Boardman Lane and Main St areas
on some Friday and Saturday nights. It is about the time people are leaving the
pubs and clubs. It is distressing to have people damaging property and knocking
on doors. PC Bates stressed that the police should be notified and made aware
of the trouble and upset this behaviour is causing.
No further
shed break in since the summer.
The hedge
around the churchyard has been cut and several trees have been removed making
much easier to see the church.
20 mph
signs in the village are not enforceable in law. It was suggested that sleeping
policemen near the school could be considered. This is a Parish Council matter
rather than a Neighbourhood Watch matter. Crossing the dual carriageway from
Main St. towards the Parish Hall is dangerous. This is awaiting the highways to
prune some trees to increase visibility.
Next month
the council will take over parking from the police.
It was
asked if a copy of the minutes could be sent to the Parish Council. This was
agreed with. The meeting closed at 8.3
