Action - community priorities
The priorities for Frankley and Rednal neighbourhood are:
- Drunken disorderly conduct
On the grassland on Foxland Avenue. - Speeding
Vehicles are allegedly speeding along the Bristol Road South. - Inconsiderate parking on Deelands Road
The community feel that the quality and quantity of vehicles parked inappropriately has increased over recent weeks. This was raised to us at the latest Neighbourhood Tasking meeting on 20 January 2010. - Anti social use of motor vehicles
At the most recent Neighbourhood Tasking meeting on 20 January 2010 the community and local businesses made us aware of the danger posed to others and the noise. - Anti social behaviour (ASB)
Young people are congregating at the bus stops and local late night establishments. This can be intimidating and cause distress to locals, so they told us about this on 20 January 2010 at a Neighbourhood Tasking meeting.
Answers - feedback and solutions
The following are the issues raised from our last neighbourhood meeting and what we are doing to tackle them:
- Drunken and disorderly conduct
Residents attending November's Neighbourhood Tasking meeting told us adults are gathering to drink alcohol during the day on the grassland at Foxland Avenue and are subsequently causing them concern due to noise and disorderly conduct that sometimes occurs.
PC Kevin Lockyer has asked Birmingham City Council to look into the possibility of erecting a fence to restrict access to the site; we are waiting for an update from the council at this time.
PC Lockyer and PCSOS Kerry Floody and Chris Semak have completed patrols in the area and have not come across any people gathering in the area, although we are anticipating the concern to arise again in the summer months. - Speeding
Cars speeding/ racing along Bristol Road South towards the end of Lickey Road in the early hours of the morning. The vehicles are believed to be congregating on the forecourt of Shell service station Bristol Road South prior to racing.
PC Kevin Willitts has visited the petrol station to make them aware and he has asked for the support of the Road Policing Unit (RPU) who have visited the area in unmarked police cars throughout November and December 2009 and duly checked the details of drivers and moved them on from the area.
A speed operation was conducted on 2nd January 2010 in which one person was recorded as driving at 51 mph and was subsequently issued a fixed penalty notice.
PC Willits will continue to monitor the area. - Inconsiderate parking on Deelands Road
Sgt Waugh has instructed PCSO Sharon Hadley to patrol the area and send letters to those who are deemed to parking illegally or inappropriately. There have been no fixed penalty tickets issued to repeat offenders as of Tuesday 9 February 2010. - Anti social use of motor vehicles
Offenders have received a first notice of anti social use of motor cars. Patrols took place throughout January 2010 with numbers reduced significantly. Feedback from businesses on the Great Park has been positive.
Sgt Mark Waugh is also looking into the possibility of gaining a barrier to prevent use of the car park late at night. - Anti social behaviour
PC Nadeem Ali is monitoring the area between the Lickey Road and the Great Park with the support of the PCSOs. Some young people have been found to causing some concern and have been asked to keep the noise to a minimum.

How can you get involved?
Our neighbourhood policing teams are working hard to ensure that your personal concerns about the area in which you live are identified and acted upon quickly, and that you are frequently given positive and useful feedback about the action we have taken.
But to do this we need your help.
We would love to hear from you about any issues you think the police should be tackling in your community. There are lots of ways you can do this, including attending one of the police meetings that are held regularly, calling or emailing the team using the details above, or you could simply stop one of our officers or PCSOs in the street and have a chat.
Fix My Street is also a brilliant way to voice your concerns, anonymously if you wish! Why not visit the website at www.fixmystreet.com, pop your postcode in and see what issues have been raised about your street?
You could even get involved with Neighbourhood Watch that is currently running over 150 schemes over the Bournville Lane operational command unit. Neighbourhood Watch schemes are used to prevent crime and the fear of crime, encourage community spirit, forge closer links with the police and encourage residents to report suspicious activity or incidents to the police through the appropriate channels.
Neighbourhood Watch schemes are a voluntary and require a limited input from the nominated committee members who are in contact with the police to provide assistance and information relating to crime in your area. Along with advice on how to be vigilant, noticing suspicious behaviour for you to report and create a safer local environment for you and your community.
If you would like to get involved in this proven to be effective scheme of combating crime please contact our Community Partnerships officer, Claire Wood.
You can also get involved with your community by joining the Key Individual Network (KIN) which is a localised group of active community members who are keen to improve their neighbourhood. For us at West Midlands Police, these individuals provide us with intelligence (activity relating to crime and disorder) in their neighbourhoods that we can act upon and subsequently make your community a safer place to live, work and visit. In addition to this, we will inform you of current crime trends, crime reduction campaigns and up to date information about crime and disorder in your area that you will be required to spread among your community. To become a member of the KIN you should contact our Communications and Reassurance officer, Janine Wright.
With this two way approach to crime reduction we have found that crime falls as a result of the support from community members who form part of the KIN.
Whichever method you prefer, we hope to hear from you soon!
