91Police Issues

PC Ainley informed the meeting that there were 3 crimes and 9 ASB incidents in the village in September. He spoke about speeding motor bikes along the riverbank and that the police have no authority to pursue drivers on motorbike etc. A car has been seen doing doughnuts in the village and if we can get the registration number the police will write to them, and give them a warning, if they continue they get a ASB and two ASB against the vehicle or drivers means the vehicle can be seized.

PC Ainley informed the meeting that an additional 300 officers will begin training for Humberside police over the next few years

Continuing with speeding, the parish council could get the ERYC to put speed strips down to see how fast vehicles are going. Cllr Appleyard stated we have already had strips.
