Considerate Parking

Hesters Way Safer Community Team has spoken with local residents who have indicated that inconsiderate parking is a large problem within the local area.

Hesters Way SCT would like to ask all drivers to think about where they are parking.

• Please avoid blocking footpaths, always allow enough room for either a childs push chair or wheel chair
  to pass safely by.
• It is an offence to obstruct the road and park within 10 metres of a junction, as this is hazardous to other
  road users.
• If you obstruct a drop kerb it can mean that wheel chair users and the less able to dismount the curb safely.

If you do any of the above you could be issued with a with a fine.

Your vehicle will be more secure and less likely to be damaged if it is on your driveway rather than parking on the road. This will help keep the roads safe for local residents.

Please think about where you park.  Be a considerate motorist.

Become a Key Individual

Hester’s Way Safer Community Team is committed to improving the influence local people have on our response to local problems.

We're looking for people to join our Key Individual Network (KIN). We want to know your thoughts and opinions on a range of issues that affect your neighbourhood. You don't have to belong to any other organisations or be involved any more than you want to. As a KIN member we will ask you to give us occasional local feedback, which in turn helps us to gain a more informed understanding of our community.

Main roles of the KIN

• Widen the consultation between the police and the local community.
• Give prompt information about significant changes in local tension and provide information of local issues.
• Enable community members to influence local policing and for the police to get increase information about issues affecting our neighbourhoods.

Benefits of the KIN

• Improves the quality of life for you and your neighbourhood.
• Provides a medium for the resolution of issues that arise within your neighbourhood.
• Provides an opportunity for the community to influence how their area is policed.

Once you become part of the KIN

Your personal details will not be used for any other purpose, or passed on to anyone else. You will be invited to meetings concerning setting priorities within your neighbourhood, and these take place on average every quarter. Outside these meetings we will carry out the majority of communication by phone, post or email.

You can resign from the KIN at any time. If you wish at any time to amend your KIN details, for example if you change telephone numbers, please contact Paul.simmons@gloucestershire.police.uk

Concerned about crime in your area? 

Then have your say on policing. The Neighbourhood Coordination Meetings are a chance to have a say on what will be the policing priorities for your area.

They provide the opportunity to meet members of the Safer Community Team as well as local councillors and other agencies involved in setting the community priorities.

Please contact us with your three main priorities relevant to your community.
Do you want to see a more visible policing presence?
Do you want us to tackle specific crimes or disorder problems that you see in your area ?
Is there vandalism, anti-social behaviour, litter or graffiti in your area?
Are you concerned about driving and speeding problems?

The above are just examples. There may be something else that you see as a priority. Please contact us to make a suggestion to your SCT: hestersway-sct@gloucestershire.police.uk. Let us know what you think.
