With regards to last months PACT priorities:
Anti social behaviour from vehicles using various locations to park up and play loud music with their friends at all hours of the day and night. Stop checks carried out by ourselves and a registration number passed by a resident with a warning letter delivered and a
visit by their local police officer.
Parking on the side roads off Burnley Road causing obstructions to other vehicles including HGV’s. People spoken to and advised. No obstructions have been reported however please call if any further problems.
 Juvenile nuisance at Queen Street Recreation Ground during the holidays. During the hot weather there were young people camping who have been setting fires in the woods and in the bin on the park. A youth has been referred to the fire service, if anyone is in the area at nights, please phone in any problems as it isn’t overlooked by residents so relies on us being able to check regularly for problems.
Eastern Delight have had a group of youths causing problems for them this past 2 weeks. A group has been identified off CCTV and they have been into the store to apologise, any further problems will result in fines. This needs to be monitored over the next month to ensure things improve.
A SPID has been put up on Halifax Road  and we are looking to do further speed enforcement along with our Community Road
Watch.
Another Neighbourhood Watch has been set up on Duke Street so we will be holding a meeting if anyone would like to attend.

2 drugs warrants have been carried out in Briercliffe this month, nothing has been found at either address however it has been a concern of the public and the occupiers of the houses have been spoken to about this.
With regards to last months PACT (Police and Community Together) priorities:
Heavy goods vehicles blocking Burnley Road when trying to access the mills off the main road. I have visited the owner and discussed with him at length, he has assured me that he doesn't have any control over the vehicles coming to the mill. It is customers who collect their orders and depending on the size of the order depends on the size of the vehicle. He states that it is the cars which park on the main road which causes these blockages however the drivers always deal with the issue and manage to manoeuvre the vehicles. with regards to the other issues that he has been contacted with he has managed to get authority off the Council to cut down some of the trees on Talbot Street.
Young people outside the Spar Shop. There haven't been any reports of anti social behaviour and further to speaking to the shops they haven't had any problems lately.
Fires in the woods on the recreation field. A letter was sent home to many parents prior to last months meeting and since this the group seems to have got smaller. There have been no reports of fires although reports have been recieved abouts youths on the mill roof. The group of young people have been spoken to about this and also we now have the SPACE bus visiting Queen Street on Wednesday evenings and I have asked them to speak to them about the dangers of this.
Two of the young males in the area who have been driving inconsiderately in the area have been nominated to participate in a safer driving course which is being run by the council.

During this period there have been 79 incidents and 10 crimes compared with 80 incidents and 18 crimes last month.
The crimes of note are:
    A scratch to windows on a house on Walverden Road 18th June;
    Theft of metal at Metro Metals 13th June, the offenders have been caught and dealt with;
    A vehicle scratched on Saxifield Street overnight 11th June;
    Queen Street Mill broken into overnight 7th June, the offender has injured themselves
     whilst getting in leaving blood at the scene, we are still awaiting the DNA results for this;
    A Sat Nav stolen from a vehicle 1st June which had been left insecure, this is the only one
     this month so it does seem people are being more vigilant;
    2 warrants have been carried out in Briercliffe this month, where a small quantity of 
    Cannabis was found growing in a property on Camp Street and a large quantity in a 
    property on Halifax Road. This is as a result of members of the public reporting this;
    Letters have been sent home to the parents of a group of young people who gather in the
     area asking them to be mindful of their behaviour as there have been incidents of fires, 
    damage and litter being left by them. A quad bike has been seized off this group and also 2 fixed penalties for public order 
    have been issued.
With regards to last months PACT priorities:
    There haven't been any reports of juvenile nuisance on Standen Hall Drive;
    I have patrolled Briercliffe School during this month, 2 motorist have been spoken to by me for parking near to the 
    crossing patrol and another on Kimberley Close. Feedback off the informants does suggest the problem has got better 
    however this isn't something we will be able to solve only monitor. Through speaking with the govenors at the school I 
    have requested that a reminder should go in the school newsletter about the school requests for collecting children as 
    many of the problems are caused by grandparents and taxis who aren't aware of the way it works. Please could the Parish 
    Council ask the Borough to arrange for the trees to be cut back as the sign for 'no stopping' isn't in view anymore outside 
    the school.
    Parents have been spoken to on Red Spar Road and advised about their children playing football on the road. Also other 
    areas have been an issue, as is the case in the summer.

At the June Parish Council meeting a resident raised concerns about Heavy Goods Vehicles on Burnley Road trying to access Talbot Street to get to Walshaw Mill, when unable they have to reverse back onto Burnley Road. PCSO Lonsdale agreed to visit the Mill and ask if smaller vehicles can be used. It was also agreed that this issue would be a PACT priority for this month. The other PACT priorities for this month were youths congregating outside the Spar Shop and youths causing problems on the Recreation Ground and in the woodlands, lighting fires and leaving litter.  PACT priorities are set at each Parish Council meeting, if you have issues you would like to be considered, each Parish Council meeting begins with public questions and a Police report prior to seeting the month's PACT priorities. The next Parish Council meeting is due to be held on Monday 18th July, 7:30pm at the Community Centre, Jubilee Street.

During this period there have been 74 incidents and 16 crimes compared with 68 incidents and 8 crimes last month.

·         The crimes of note are 3 vehicles have had items stolen out of them on the weekend dated 7th and 8th of May, all 3 cars were unlocked with the property on display we would urge people not to keep anything of value in your cars and keep them locked. 

·         Burglary of a garage on the 7th May on Oaken Bank, possibly during the day, again this garage was unlocked. 

·         Theft of a gate and lead of yards on 2nd and 4th of May.

·         Theft of lead from Quality Mill on Talbot Street. This is thought to have happened week ending  6th and 7th of May. With the amount that has been stolen the offenders must have been there a few nights and some lead has been left rolled up ready to be taken so please report any suspicious behaviour.   

·         Two people have been found in possession of Cannabis. The searches have taken place as a result of intelligence from members of the public. Please keep passing this valuable information to us. 

·         A Briercliffe Nursery have had their playground damaged by youths sheltering in there week ending 23rd and 24th of April. The nursery is very private at the rear and they are trying to get high fences to secure it.

·         A burglary on Halifax Road happened over night on the 21st April, where the property had been searched for keys but the wrong ones were stolen. It is thought that they were after the keys for a high value / high powered car.

Intelligence suggests the offenders were travelling across the borders committing similar offences in Bacup and Trawden. We are working closely with police in these areas.

    We are working closely with residents of Standen Hall Drive further to the serious incident that occured prior to last month. A Neighbourhood Watch Scheme is in the process of being setup and encourangement is being given to join the Briercliffe Resident's Association. Extra patrols have been done in the area, however there have been no reports of anti-social behaviour.

    Extra patrols have been done at Briercliffe School further to problems from people picking their children up. On one occasion, a male was very abusive to the Deputy Head. This was dealt with by way of restorative justice, a written apology made to the school and he has been band from the school premises.

    There have been no reports of motorbikes this month, this may be because of the rainy weather. If you have any further information don't hesitate to call the local PC / PCSO.
