April Update
This Months update is brought to you by PCSO Ben Eustice.
We have been experiencing some of the best weather this year, a considerable change from the severe weather of early 2010. This beautiful weather attracts large gatherings on the Rye of all ages as well as fun fair’s creating amusement for young and old.
Anti-social behaviour:
With the continuing excellent weather, anti-social behaviour is usually the neighbourhood priority that begins to increase. This excellent weather does bring out large gatherings particularly on the Rye, so we advise you to keep your belongings with you at all times. However the emerging hot spot of West End Road has seen a fall in complaints and appears to remain anti-social free. If you are aware of any areas suffering from anti-social behaviour and feel increased patrols would solve the problem, please call 08458 505 505, you can also contact the Public Safety Team on 01494 461000. There is now a new and extended no drinking zone which is in effect which stretches from the boundaries of Keep Hill Road all the way up Amersham Hill and across to Desborough Park Road.
Speeding:
Our main long-term problem is Coronation Road. A Speeding operation was carried out whereby 11 vehicles were issued speeding fines. On 8 April a roads policing operation took place in Desborough Avenue. Of the 76 vehicles stopped, 75 were ticketed; 66 for not wearing a seat belt and seven for driving whilst on their mobile phone. Speed Indication Surveys are continually being carried out throughout the month to build up an idea where our problem areas are.
Parking:
The biggest issue with parking remains to be during school opening and closing time. The PCSO’s are fully aware of these issues and will continue to patrol the areas when possible in conjunction with Wycombe District Council’s civil enforcement officers. Parking tickets have been issued and will continue to be along Carrington Road for vehicles blocking drives, pathways and parking either side of the road.
We have had a continual problem with a house in London Road and it being used by squatters. Through working closely with the council and the home owner we have been able to move on the squatters and secure the premise which was attracting a whole number of anti-social issues. The premise is due to be renovated in May.
There has unfortunately been an increase in burglaries this month throughout Wycombe. Due to the good weather people are leaving windows and doors open and we advise people that when leaving the property, even if it is to sit in the garden, that it is best to lock all windows, and keep all doors secure. It is a good idea to mark your property, there will be property marking events at local schools and during the summer a mobile police station where this can be done, alternatively if you see you local Police Community Support Officer and ask for a UV Pen they would be only too happy to oblige.
Offenders brought to justice:
A warrant was executed on a house on Queens Road regarding a theft offence.
A local man asked for an attempted burglary dwelling at Mallard Place, Kingsmead Road, to be taken into consideration at court.
A local man was arrested and charged with robbery of a young boy on the Rye, High Wycombe.
A man was cautioned with possession of cannabis on London Road, High Wycombe
A man was charged with public indecency at the Irish Club on London Road, High Wycombe.
A man was arrested for possession of drugs on Aveling Road
A Fixed Penalty Notice was issued to a man for disorder on the Rye, High Wycombe.
TVP is aiming to increase the take up of Community Messaging beyond Neighbourhood Watch schemes so that five per cent of the total population of Thames Valley – or over 100,000 people will be subscribers. Please follow this link and keep yourself updated on what goes on in your area;

Monthly Update
This month’s update for Abbey and Ryemead is given by PC Andrew Gilbert:
Good News
The Wycombe Community Safety Partnership has been recognised as among the best in Britain after cutting crime in the town.
In the past year there have been 743 fewer victims of serious acquisitive crime, which includes, burglary, autocrime and robbery.
Ch Insp Colin Seaton, Deputy Police Area Commander, said: “Receiving this award is an outstanding achievement for the partnership and recognises the work carried out over the last year but it is the reduction in crime that is the real cause for celebration and a fantastic result not just the partnership, but more importantly, the community.
“We will continue to work in partnership to engage with the community, respond to their concerns, and hopefully reduce crime in the area even further.”
This is extremely encouraging news and hopefully will spur us on to achieve more.
Anti-social Behaviour:
This is one of the neighbourhood priorities, although we are lucky that our wards are relatively anti-social free. We do have some emerging hotspots on West End Street and Rosebery Ave so please ring police whenever you are not happy about behaviour happening on your street. If we are aware of it we can increase patrols in your area. You can also ring the Public Safety Team which is part of Wycombe Council on 01494 461000.
Speeding:
One of the main long-term problems in our area continues to be Coronation Road. Some good Speed Indication Device work has been carried out on this road by the PCSOs showing that speeding regularly exceeds 40mph and we are currently planning another operation on that road.
Parking:
The biggest consistent parking problem is still surrounding schools in the mornings and afternoons. The PCSOs have continued to work hard around the schools at this time and parking complaints have definitely decreased.
Last week a meeting was held between various departments of the council, the Public Safety Team and police to discuss the parking issues on Fennels Road. It was agreed that vast improvements have occurred on Fennels Road and complaints have stopped coming in. We will continue to monitor the situation but it is good to report this fact.
Some notable incidents which have occurred this month in our area was the disturbing incident of a man committing indecent exposure outside High Wycombe High School. This has obvious repercussions and we are working with the school to try and establish who this male is.
There has also been an increase in burglaries across the whole of High Wycombe generally. We are still receiving reports of a young girl knocking on doors asking for a small amount of money, and burglaries happening in those streets a few hours later. If you have any suspicious incidents of strangers asking you for money please call us. There are also several incidents of distraction burglaries occurring, some of them claiming to be police officers. If these people knock on your door unexpectedly ask to see their identification, close the door and phone up the relevant organisation using a phone number from the Yellow Pages or internet.
Offenders brought to justice:
A man was charged with burglary for an offence this month in Tadros Court
A man received a caution for using a false card in Argos
Two men received penalty notices for disorder in the Wye Retail Park
A man received a caution for possession of cannabis on the London Road and another on the Marlow Hill
A woman received a Penalty Notice for shoplifting in Marks and Spencer
A man received a caution for an assault in Marks and Spencer
A man was charged with exposure in Warren Wood Drive
A man received a caution for criminal damage in Conifer Rise and another man received a caution for a similar offence on Marlow Hill
Anti-social Behaviour
This is our third priority and usually increases in the sunnier months. Incidents have been reported on London Road and Kingsmead Road as well as West End Street and Wendover Street. Young and old people meet in groups at Rye Park, drink alcohol and use noisy quad bikes anti-socially. If you experience any behaviour that you deem anti-social or affects your everyday well-being then please call it in on the non emergency number 08458 505 505

Parking
Parking has been voted the number one priority in the Abbey and Ryemead Neighbourhood. There are issues with vehicles in areas of the Abbey and Ryemead districts causing inconvenience to residents and service users. These problems presist particulary around school opening and closing times, as well as in the Wycombe Marsh area. Frequent patrols are in effect, with tickets being issued and if necessary vehicles removed for obstruction.
Speeding
Speeding has been voted by you, the members of the public, as one of our priorities. The following roads have been identified as having issues regarding speeding; Desborough Avenue, Daws Hill Lane, Coronation Road, Kingsmead Road and Marlow Hill. Speed enforcement checks are being carried out on all roads, as well as Speed Indication Device surveys.
