The current priorities for the Axholme Central area are:Burglaries within the area of Westgate Road to Sandtoft Road, Belton. Anti-social behaviour/neighbourhood disputes within the Stool Close Road area. The Neighbourhood Central team are commencing their first 'walkabout' surgery on 25 March 2010 and will be on patrol in and around the Epworth Town Centre between 1500 and 1600 hours, we are conducting these as we feel that this may be more Police Community productive than the surgeries we held at Haxey Library every Support Officer month, which I have to say were not used and would allow us to 7577 Stewart engage with the community and allow the public to report their Pearson concerns to us. The neighbourhood team are also exploring the possibility of using the Police events bus to visit the villages to increase community engagement and give more residents the chance to report their concerns to the local officers.

Police Constable 1839 Tina Starbuck

PC Starbuck will be attending South Axholme School to present certificates to those who took part in the Lifestyle 2009. Lifestyle is a Humberside Police initiative for 10 to 16 year olds to encourage young people to help their communities during the school summer holidays. PC STARBUCK and PCSO PEARSON were invited to give a talk about policing to the Epworth Women's Network on Wednesday 10 March 2010. We would like to thank all the ladies for allowing us to visit and hope that they enjoyed the afternoon as much as we did. Officers on motorcycles have been out on the Isle to deal with quad bikes and motorcyclists who have been creating on-going nuisance to residents and we would encourage anyone who has these to cease any activity which again will be looked at positively by the police. Please may I ask that all motorists who use their mobile phones whilst driving that they are liable to both a fine and points on their licences, so please stop using mobile phones, nothing is that urgent that you need to answer or make a call on your mobile phone driving. Now that we are hopefully entering the lighter nights and better weather! can I ask that we are all aware of leaving property insecure and especially doors into our property as it only takes a very short while for people to come in and steal your property including your car keys and cars and give you what you believe a plausible reason. If you spot anyone and they are not always alone and you have any reservations, suspicions please ring the police immediately, do not take time over thinking whether you should or should not I would rather you rang in at the time. You can contact Humberside Police on 0845 60 60 222 for non-emergency calls. If you feel uncomfortable in calling the police with information about crime, then please consider contacting Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Crimestoppers is an independent charity working to fight crime. They can also be joined on Twitter, Facebook and Bebo or if you go onto the Crimestoppers website you can also fill our an on-line form. When contacting Crimestoppers you do not have to give your name and you may be eligible for a cash reward. Working with Pc Tina Starbuck is your Police Community Support Officer Stewart PEARSON, who regularly patrols the Central area of the Isle and will be happy to discuss any community issues with you. Please feel free to stop and speak with him or alternatively contact either of us via 0845 60 60 222. The police station at Epworth also provides a front counter service for two days a week, Mondays and Thursdays, between 9am and 3pm. The date and location for the next Neighbourhood Action Team meeting has yet to be decided and you will be informed as soon as we know.
