We asked: 

what issues concerned you most in your area

You said: 

After listening to some of our concerns, the PACT meeting agreed that drinkers gaining access to the sheltered accommodation at St Georges' Court were creating a nuisance and making living conditions there unpleasant for the elderly residents.

Date of priority: 
19 May 2009
Approximate times of offence: 

Early and late evening, people using the communal bathrooms through the night.

We did: 

19th May - We have met with the warden and residents here and put a plan in place to begin to address the issues, and to reassure the residents of our support.

Residents have been reminded that 0114 2202020 and 999 are entirely appropriate ways to contact us in certain circumstances. They have been issued with diaries to record incidents of anti-social behaviour and extra patrols are planned for the premises. All SNT officers now have the door code to get in and check the corridoors and bathrooms.

16th June

After 4 weeks we are pleased to say that incidents here have pretty much stopped. We have made two arrests early on, and PCSOs altering their shifts to cover the key times here and pro-actively patrolling and visiting the complex has had a very positive effect.

At the PACT meeting tonight this has been removed as one of the priorities. The dedicated Ambassador, PCSO and PC for this area will continue to work closely with staff and residents here to prevent this from becoming a gathering point again.
