Public Meeting
14/01/11 20:55
Following the announcement that Bottesford Police Station is earmarked for closure, Bottesford Parish Council has arranged a PUBLIC MEETING to be held in Bottesford Village Hall, Belvoir Road.at 7 pm on Monday 17 January. The meeting is to discuss CHANGES IN POLICING IN THE VALE and THE FUTURE OF BOTTESFORD POLICE STATION. The Chief Constable, Simon Cole, will attend along with other senior Officers.
Behind the scenes efforts by the Vale NHW network, and letters of support for our beat team from the Vale communities to the Chief Constable, have had an impact on police plans. On 22 December, one of the Assistant Chief Constables (Chris Garnham) and a small team from the Constabulary, met with three representatives of the Vale NHW Network to discuss the letter we had sent to the Chief Constable on 22 November.
From the statements made at the 22 December meeting, and from my own separate discussions with Melton & Bottesford based officers, I am assured that the style and quality of policing in the Vale will not be changed to our detriment. by a change to a new LOCAL Police Office. Indeed there may well be improvements for some areas and categories of crime. Crucially, the police have agreed that officers should start and finish their shifts at the new office (rather than Melton) and that all the necessary facilities will be provided there. The Police have been very keen to hear our views and equally willing to make necessary adjustments.
In conclusion, in our view the future of the Police Station building in Queen Street, Bottesford, should be considered as a separate issue from the future of policing in the Parish and the Vale. The retention of that building would have marginal or little impact on the quality of policing we will receive.
However, don't just take our word for it. Come along to the meeting on Monday, listen to the Chief Constable, question him as necessary and make up your own minds.

Doorstep selling
04/10/10 21:23
We are keen to hear from any resident who has recently been subject to pressure selling from anyone offering to undertake gardening (such as hedge-cutting) and general house maintenance tasks. Such tactics are often used against old and vulnerable people who we all wish to protect.

Thefts
14/06/10 13:31
Police have today informed NHW that over the last few weeks the number of 'small-scale', opportunist thefts in Bottesford and surrounding areas has increased. Items stolen have included good quality garden furniture, planters and even plants, in addition to breaks into cars for whatever may be hidden inside. Please take all reasonable care of your property. As most of these crimes are thought to be opportunist, why not consider fastening garden furniture to the ground? Be vigilant at all times, and PLEASE report all suspicious activity and vehicles IMMEDIATELY to the Police on 0116 222 2222.

Break-in Bottesford Pre-School
09/08/09 22:04
NHW has tonight (9 August) received the following information from Bottesford Pre-School, which is located on Belvoir Avenue:
Somebody person(s) broke into the shed at Bottesford Pre-School last week and threw 2 litres of household paint all over the contents of the shed. This has ruined about £300 worth of sports equipment, outdoor umbrellas and gardening supplies. Not to mention the time we now have to spend cleaning up the mess. Pre-school is a charity and we cannot bear the costs of these sorts of losses.
It has been reported to the Police but whoever did it must have had paint all over their hands at the very least. Would you be able to send a message round on the neighbourhood watch email asking if anybody has had their child come home with paint on them or if anybody knows anything about it. The paint was cream and the incident happened sometime last week (we think Wednesday or Thursday night, but it was definitely between Monday and Thursday night).
If anyone knows anything about this serious, mindless, vandalism or suspects a person or persons may have been involved, would they please contact Leicestershire Police on 0116 222 2222. Alternatively, they may send an e-mail to the Pre-School at enquiries@bottesfordpreschool.org.uk, or NHW at bottesfordnhw@onetel.com.
Please help.
