👮‍♀️🚓 Community Day at Redlands Primary School, Sileby 🚓👮‍♂️

Charnwood Police - Back to school 🏫 🚸 after the easter holidays.

Good Morning/Afternoon all,

🚸 Back to School after Easter holidays: Parking 🅿️ safety & crime prevention advice ℹ️.

As children return to school 🏫, increased traffic & parking 🅿️ demand can create risks for children, residents, & drivers.

Please help keep everyone safe by following this advice ℹ️:

🚗 Safe & legal parking 🅿️
Park legally & considerately—do-not block pavements, driveways, crossings, or junctions.
Avoid ⛔ parking on zig‑zags or double yellow lines, even “for a minute”. Do not mount pavements—this forces children & parents into the road.
Use designated parking 🅿️ areas where available, even if it means a short walk 👣.

🚸 Keeping children safe 🚸.
Always hold young children’s hands near roads 🛣️ & car parks 🅿️.
Use safe crossing points & follow School Staff or Crossing Patrol officer instructions.
Don’t 🚫 reverse or U‑turn near school gates unless it’s clearly Safe.
Avoid ⛔ stopping on the opposite side of the road to call children across.

🚶‍♀️ Consider walking or other methods of transport such as Cycling 🚲 or scooter 🛴 as a method of travel to School 🏫 🚸.
Park 🅿️ a few minutes away & walk 👣 part of the journey.
This reduces Congestion 💨 & improves Safety at school gates.
Fewer vehicles mean better Visibility for children & drivers.


🏘️ Respect local residents
Avoid ⛔ blocking driveways or parked vehicles.
Engines off—Reduce Nuisance, Pollution & Confrontation 🗯️.
A polite approach prevents disputes & complaints!

⚠️ Enforcement & Reporting ⚠️.
Illegal or dangerous parking may result in enforcement action 🎫.
Obstructive parking can delay emergency vehicles 🚨.
Persistent issues should be reported via:
Local authority parking enforcement (Leicestershire County Council & Charnwood Borough Council)
Police 101 (non‑emergency)


Much appreciated,
PCSO 6031 Charlie Dash.
(Leicestershire Police, PCSO 6031, Charnwood).

Charnwood Police - 🚓 NL59 Beat Team – Weekly Roundup

Here’s a quick look at what I’ve been up to across the NL59 beat this week, covering Sileby, Barrow upon Soar, Seagrave, Cossington, Cotes, Hoton & the Wolds villages:

👮‍♂️ Patrols & Visibility.
High‑visibility patrols carried out in Sileby Memorial Park focusing on ASB & e‑bike concerns. Routine foot & vehicle patrols completed across Barrow, Seagrave, Cossington & Hoton, checking in on known hotspots & community areas.

🚨 Incidents Attended.
Responded to several reports linked to ASB & neighbour disputes around the Beat, offering advice, reassurance & referrals where appropriate.
Assisted colleagues on ongoing investigations involving local intelligence around drug-related issues.
Completed follow-up visits after a recent vehicle‑related incident in the rural Wolds area.

📨 Community Engagement.
Provided support & updates to residents who have raised concerns through Neighbourhood Link & direct contact.
Continued work with partner agencies, including Charnwood Borough Council, Sileby Parish Council & Leicestershire Fire & Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service, on shared issues affecting the villages.

🚓🤝 Joint Partnership Working.
PCSO 6031 Charlie teamed up with East Midlands Housing (EMH) for an Estate day in Burtons Close in Sileby where many residents received door knocks from members of EMH as well as the police.
A few issues were raised however residents commented on what a nice place it was to live in!

Reports have been received of e‑bikes being ridden at excessive speed along Cemetry Road & surrounding streets, in Sileby, particularly during the evenings & at around School times.
E-Riders have been seen using the pavement, with no lights & wearing dark clothing, which poses a danger to pedestrians & other road users.
Patrols will be increased in the area, & further information from residents is always appreciated.

Many thanks,
NL59 Beat Team,
Charlotte Dash
(Leicestershire Police, PCSO 6031, Charnwood).
