Issue - meetings

The District Executive gave consideration to a report of the Greater Manchester Police, Oldham Division, Local Policing Team, Failsworth, Hollinwood and Limeside.

Sergeant Paul Archer was in attendance to present the report.

Keys issues highlighted:

·       Dashcams being introduced on Startax Taxis due to anti-social behaviour.

·       Changes in how crimes statistics are recorded

·       Tesco and redesign of car park and highway – The area was a ASB hotspot and it would be beneficial if the Police could feed into the design change.

·       Antisocial behaviour at Limeside Park and the numbers of Fire and Rescue and Police deployed to deal with the situation

·       The 101 telephone number – number of aborted calls. Information to be provided compared with last year. Members were advised that the system was not on a loop.

·       Numbers of Police in the Oldham Area

·       Police checking buses with revenue inspectors. Members were advised this did not impact on police time.

RESOLVED – That the Local Policing Team, Failsworth, Hollinwood and Limeside report be noted.
