Community profiles
Profile of PS Simon Goodenough
I joined Gloucestershire Constabulary in 2004 and spent the first four years as a frontline uniformed officer in Cheltenham Town Centre. During the next three years I performed Acting Sergeant duties and also ran an operation targeting drug use and theft in Cheltenham Town Centre. During the restructure in April 2011 I joined Hesters Way Station as the community Sergeant. I joined the team at Tewkesbury in November 2012 and I am responsible for the communities of Tewkesbury and Coombe Hill. I have an interest in solving long term community issues. I know that the best way to do this is through partnership working and we are best placed to do this at the Borough Council offices. I ensure my team target the small number of individuals in your community that cause the most harm. Please tell me about your community issues on 101 or by emailing: tewkesbury.LPA.Communities@gloucestershire.police.uk
Profile of PC Kieran Bolton
I joined the Constabulary 22 years ago in 1990 with my first station at Cirencester. Since then I have worked in Gloucester City as a response officer and in a community role. I have been a tutor constable instructing new officers on their first active patrols. I have also worked in Hesters Way before moving to Tewkesbury, where I have been involved in community policing for seven years. I have an interest in tackling Anti Social Behaviour and safeguarding vulnerable people and community initiatives are also important to me. You will often see me conducting licensing checks in pubs on a Friday/Saturday night so don’t be shy and come and chat. Please tell me about your community concerns by calling 101 or emailing: tewkesbury.LPA.Communities@gloucestershire.police.uk
Profile of PC Sarah Sceats
I joined the Constabulary in 2005 and worked as a uniformed frontline officer for four years at Tewkesbury Police station. I then joined the community team at Tewkesbury and was responsible for Bishops Cleeve. I now work closely with other partner agencies to resolve community issues in Tewkesbury and Coombe Hill. Please tell me about your community concerns by calling 101 or emailing: tewkesbury.LPA.Communities@gloucestershire.police.uk
Profile of PCSO Bill Wren
I have been a PCSO since 2003 with Gloucestershire Police and was one of the first 20 employed by the Constabulary. I have been a member of the Tewksbury Local Policing team from the beginning. I am now pleased to be returning to the community of Tewkesbury and Coombe Hill, having previously been a local officer covering Bishops Cleeve, Woodmancote, Oxenton, Stoke Orchard and surrounding villages for the past three years. I find the role of a PCSO to be very satisfying, because being on foot patrol I have direct contact with the public. I find there is nothing more pleasing than someone saying "It's good to see you on patrol". Please tell me about your community concerns by calling 101 or emailing: tewkesbury.LPA.Communities@gloucestershire.police.uk

News
Residents encouraged to report cases of dog fouling
Residents frustrated with dog owners allowing their pets to foul in public areas without picking it up are being encouraged to report cases to their local borough council.
Tewkesbury Borough Council and Gloucestershire Police have received a number of complaints about the issue in recent months, and are encouraging residents to report cases so action can be taken.
The borough council does not have a dog warden but it has powers to enforce the Dog Fouling of Land Act, which means if a member of the public witnesses a dog owner not picking up their dog’s mess, and is willing to provide a witness statement, it can prosecute the owner, which can lead to a fine of up to £1000.
The message from the two authorities is that if a resident witnesses dog mess being left in a public area, they should get in touch with the borough council’s Environmental Health team, which will review the evidence provided and establish if a prosecution is appropriate.
In addition to being unsightly and smelly, dog mess is unsafe for humans or dogs as it can cause Toxocarasis – a disease that can cause permanent loss of sight, which is particularly dangerous to children.
Tewkesbury Borough Council’s Lead Member for Clean and Green Environment Cllr Jim Mason said: “Most dog owners are very responsible and clear up after their dogs properly but there is a minority that don’t. There are around 360 dog bins in Tewkesbury Borough but unfortunately there is a minority of dog walkers who choose to leave the mess on the floor. It’s not fair on anyone, particularly children who are especially vulnerable. I strongly urge all dog walkers to pick up their dog’s mess and either take it home or use one of the many dog waste bins available.
Sergeant Claire Morgan said: "We're sure no one in the community wants to live or work in an area that is strewn with this kind of mess, which is why we're asking residents to help us tackle the problem. We'd also like to remind dog owners to be responsible and tidy up after their pet."
As well as reporting individual cases, residents are encouraged to contact their local town or parish council about dog bins if they feel an area may benefit from one.
