News Item from the Parish Council

The following is a news item from the Parish Council ....

The article on policing published on Monday 19th included the following: "Note that Tarvin Parish Council have informed us that they have written to the Police and Crime Commissioner regarding the fact that our local PCSO, James Hannath, has been allocated more communities, and that this means he is now spread very thinly to the detriment of Tarvin Parish residents."

There must have been a misunderstanding somewhere along the line because the Parish Council did not say anything to Tarvin Online about the letter. After the June PC meeting a letter was sent to the Police and Crime Commissioner expressing concerns that our PCSO duties might be changing with less time being spent in the Parish. The Police had responded indicating that nothing had changed or was scheduled to change. The reference about wider area had been included in the e-mail because if there was a significant urgent issue in a particular area then PCSOs would be pulled out to that area to deal with that issue. The e-mail was intended to be about encouraging everyone to report issues and receive updates online.

At the Parish Council meeting on Monday 19th evening it was noted that the Clerk had obtained the following online:

In May 2024 there were 9 recorded crimes in Tarvin Parish -- 3 criminal damage (2 Hunters Drive, 1 Fairfax Avenue), 2 anti-social behaviour (1 Deansway 1 Gerard Close), 2 burglaries (1 off Lower High Street, 1 Crossfields), 2 violence and sexual offences (Gibson Close).

In June 2024 there were 4 recorded crimes in Tarvin Parish -- 1 vehicle crime (Deansway), 1 public order (Hallfields Road), 1 theft (High Street), 1 other crime (Tarporley Road).
