Cockermouth Town Council meeting
Acting Police Sergeant Edwards and PCSO Parker attended Cockermouth Town Council meeting and addressed any questions the committee had in relation to the town.
This including anti-social behaviour and speeding in specified areas of the town.
PCSO Parker will continue her patrols in the hot spot areas of the town and the speeding issues has been referred to the CRASH group (Collision Reduction and Safer Highways).
Complaints from the Town Council included speeding on Lamplugh Road, Windmill Lane and Strawberry Howe Road
Lamplugh Road was referred to CRASH recently following complaint from residents trying to cross from Brigham Road over towards Parkside Avenue, with vehicles speeding over the brow of the hill.
Traffic counts came back showing good compliance with the speed limit and there is no history of any killed and seriously injured (KSI) collisions, however, the Road Safety Camera Van regularly enforces not far from the police station on Lamplugh Road
Windmill Lane was looked at a little while ago now but data came back with good compliance with speed limit, largely the parked cars keeping the speeds down which is good and no relevant KSI.
Strawberry Howe Road added to CRASH for traffic data to be gathered and if any issues, may look at Safety Camera Van site in the future
Neuro disability champion
PCSO 5299 Pete Nichol has been working with a young person in Keswick as a neuro disability champion.
This is where a young person may have been a victim of crime or may be getting involved in low level ASB/crime and it is known that the person may have been identified or suspected of having a neuro disability which may include ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, OCD, Dyspraxia or chromosome disorder.
This is purely intervention and support work, PCSO Nichol himself has been diagnosed with a neuro disability so this is a way of trying to use that experience to support young people that may need it in any of those capacities.
