To tackle anti social behaviour in the area of, McDonalds, Thorpe End, Melton Mowbray, KFC, Scalford Road, Melton Mowbray, and the play close in Melton Town Park, during weekday evenings and at weekends. |
Following a sustained period of intervention using a number of different tactics I am pleased to report a significant reduction of ASB incidents at McDonalds, Thorpe End, Melton Mowbray. A number of staff and officers from Melton Police Station were able to use our positive relationship with Melton Borough Council to tackle the high number of reports received about incidents in and around the restaurant. McDonalds Area Manager Martin Kettle and representatives from MBC and the Police met to discuss options and proactive steps were taken by all, which has seen reports reduced to almost zero in that area. For an outlet of that nature with extended opening hours this is a remarkable feat and measures are in place to ensure we can maintain low levels of ASB indefinitely. McDonalds management have been extremely positive in their reaction to our work there and we hope this can serve as a positive example of partnership working to improve the quality of life for local residents and the safety and comfort of people enjoying Melton Town Centre. I would invite residents of Melton to direct any concerns they may have about policing issues in their neighbourhood to me, Sgt Jake Margiotta, directly as the Town Centre beat Manager. This will enable us to focus our resources and efforts into the areas causing communities the most harm. Alternatively use the non-emergency 101 number or CRIMESTOPPERS with information about illegal activity. |
