The neighbourhood team at Newton Aycliffe have had a busy week with a new operation called Operation Woodburn. This is an operation to tackle antisocial behaviour particularly in the Western area of Newton Aycliffe. The operation last weekend was successful and saw a reduction in calls relating to antisocial behaviour. PC Booth and PCSO Button assisted with youths climbing on the roof of the multi-story cark park being reckless towards the edge, climbing on parts of the roof that were out of bounds. This is something that is extremely dangerous, and I just want to highlight that to parents/guardians to ensure that your children are safe and aware of the dangers.
Officers from the neighbourhood team will be attending the Blue Light Day that’s occurring in Aycliffe later this month so it will be nice to see some new and familiar faces and we will be there to answer any questions you may have.
We are working with partner agencies to secure funding and are always looking at new and innovative ways to tackle the problem. Have you heard of our online messaging service ‘Keep in the Know’? By signing up to this service for free you can find out what’s happening in your local area – receive regular crime updates, information on road closures and learn about what your local neighbourhood policing team is doing. You can decide what agencies you wish to receive messages off when you sign up to the service. Head over to www.keepintheknow.co.uk and click ‘Sign up’. It doesn’t take long and you can be kept up to date with many different things.
