POLICE DETAILS
Humberside Police - Barton-upon-Humber Neighbourhood

The Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) are continuing to focus on Antisocial Behaviour (ASB) around Barton.

Groups of youths are still gathering at the Bus & Train station, plus outside retail premises including the Co-op and Heron Foods. Whilst the majority of young people aren't causing problems, there is a small minority whose behaviour understandably causes frustration to the community, leaving some residents and shop workers intimidated.

There is also a minority of youths who kick on resident's doors before running away. Whilst 'knock-a-door-run' has been played for generations, there's a current cohort of youths who think it's acceptable to repeatedly kick doors so hard that along with causing distress for occupants and their pets, damage is also being caused. The actions of these youths is not acceptable and they are committing criminal offences, including Public Order offences, Harassment and Criminal Damage. Over recent weeks Barton NPT have formally dealt with a number of youths for these offences, and will continue to do so.

Antisocial behavior is defined as 'Behavior by a person which causes (or is likely to cause) harassment, alarm or distress to persons not of the same household as the person'.

Since the end of 2023 and into 2024, we've worked with partner agencies including Baysgarth School, Youth Justice Partnership, Early Intervention, Children’s Services and Safer Neighbourhoods, plus local drug and mental health services. We've identified key individuals linked with ASB and low-level criminality. Our aim, through joint partnership working, is to address the root cause(s) of mis-behaviour so partner agencies can support each young person with the tools to help develop them into more valued members of our community.

Powers under Section 35 of the 'Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014' have been used to exclude individuals from the hotspot areas for a period of up to 48 hours. We have also spent many evenings patrolling with Youth Outreach workers to engage with the youths positively to help direct away from ASB. Whilst it takes time to see results, we are already seeing a reduction in Antisocial Behaviour and expect this to continue.

Contrary to popular belief, Barton Police Station is staffed 24-7.

PC Chris HOWSON and PCSO Tracy DYAS are your dedicated Barton Neighbourhood Policing Team.

We work closely with local schools plus a variety of partner-agencies, to help support some of the most vulnerable people in our community. This includes Barton Town Council, Safer Neighbourhoods, Children's Services and ONGO, amongst many others.

As your Neighbourhood Policing Team, we investigate a variety of crimes including allegations of hate crime, antisocial behaviour (ASB), harassment, public order incidents and low-level assaults.

We also spend a significant amount of time in the community speaking with residents and businesses, trying to understand local concerns and what's important to you.

We select different streets each week to conduct 'Humber Talking' surveys, and sign many residents up to 'My Community Alert' which is a free messaging system operated by Humberside Police, Humberside Fire & Rescue Service, and Humberside Office of the Police & Crime Commissioner. This gives you live information about incidents happening in the area, and you can choose how you receive messages, by phone or email, and how often you want to hear from us.

To sign up please visit: https://www.mycommunityalert.co.uk/#SignUp

We also hold weekly drop-in surgeries at a variety of locations in Barton, including the Baysgarth Hub (Library), the Viking Centre (Fairfield Drive) and Victoria House (Victoria Drive). Again, this is an opportunity to meet your Neighbourhood Team and ask us questions. Please view the Humberside Police - Barton website for dates and times, under the ‘Meetings and Events’ tab.

In addition to the Neighbourhood Team, Barton Police Station is staffed by two Response Officers day-and-night, 365 days per year. Whilst their role is to attend emergencies and 999 calls in Barton and the surrounding area, they also provide support for ASB when the Neighbourhood Team aren’t at work.

You can contact the Barton Neighbourhood Team by email, on [email protected], or else in person when you see us walking about, or at any of the drop-in surgeries over the coming weeks.

Proposal of a Youth Club in Barton ('THE HUB').

It's our hope to bring a Youth Club back to Barton!

In response, Barton NPT - in partnership with Youth Justice Partnership - sent online questionnaires to every pupil at Baysgarth School.

We had an overwhelming response from the pupils which enabled us to approach Barton Town Council to ask for their support in this project. The Town Council agreed to take ownership and offered use of 'THE HUB' on Maltby Lane (...which I'm sure many Bartonians will remember used to be the Youth Club many years ago!).

Barton Town Council have applied for up to £10,000 from the Community Response Funding (from the Office of Police & Crime Commissioners) to help fund staff and facilities. This is not a given, so we would kindly urge all residents in Barton to please vote for this project using the below link:

Whilst we realise a dedicated Youth Club won't magically make Antisocial Behaviour disappear, we are quietly confident a dedicated Hub away from the streets is likely to help reduce ASB.

Barton now has a Youth Club!

To support our local teenagers, Barton NPT have worked in partnership with Barton Town Council to bring a Youth Club back to Barton.

The Hub, Maltby Lane, DN18 5PY

Youths between 11 to 15 year old.

Consent forms are available from Barton Town Council offices, and also through Baysgarth School.

The Youth Club has been funded by the Office of Police & Crime Commissioners, and will run every Friday over the next year. It's hoped that if the Youth Club is a success, additional funding can be applied for to help support increased hours and more days throughout the week.

We hope the residents of Barton will support this venture. This will provide somewhere safe for youths to gather, with access to local support agencies if required.

Where - The Hub, Maltby Lane, Barton
When - Friday, 5:00pm x 7:00pm
Who - Youths aged between 11 and 15-years

So far the Youth Club has been very successful, attracting between ten and fifteen youths each week. Most youths choose play a variety of ball games in the sports hall, whilst others sit and draw, or play board games. We hope that in coming weeks, Wi-Fi and Gaming will also be available.

The sessions are FREE but with limited places, so if your child would like to attend, consent forms are available from the Barton Town Council offices, Baysgarth School, or at Barton Police Station.

The sessions are supervised by Council Youth Workers, but the Barton Neighbourhood Policing team also visit most weeks to offer support.

ABANDONED BUILDINGS

As local residents will be aware, several disused commercial buildings in Barton have been severely damaged in recent years. Whilst the Barton Neighbourhood Policing Team do frequently patrol these locations, we do rely heavily on the eyes and ears in the community to report suspicious activity to us.

Throughout August and September 2024, we're aware people have been paying attention to the disused Queen’s Club, on Queen Street. We are in regular contact with the owners to ensure the building remains secure, but would ask local residents report anything suspicious by ringing 101, on the non-emergency Police number.

Youths kicking doors in Barton.

It’s that time of year again when we’re starting to see reports of youths kicking residents doors in Barton.

This is more than ‘knock-a-door-run’ where youths as young at 11-years are vigorously kicking doors, often causing damage. The occupants can be elderly and this behaviour leaves them fearing for their safety. We’re currently working to identify a cohort of youths responsible for several recent occurrences near St Mary’s Church, by reviewing CCTV, speaking to witnesses, and if necessary liaising with local schools to identify the youths. Anyone identified will be investigated for Harassment and Public Order offences.

The Barton Neighbourhood Policing Team would urge anyone who’s a victim of this to report on 101, or online using the Humberside Police Website.

This is despicable behaviour by a minority of youths, who perhaps don’t realise the emotional impact this has on people in their community. Humberside Police will not tolerate this and proportionate action will be taken.

Barton Police Station - Opening Hours

The front office at Barton Police Station is open as follows:

Monday - 12 noon to 8pm
Wednesday - 10am to 6pm
Thursday - 10am to 6pm
Saturday - 9am to 5pm

PC Chris HOWSON, PCSO Tracy DYAS, and PCSO Sabina STEFANESCU are your Barton Neighbourhood Policing Team.

Please visit the station during the opening times if you wish to report a crime or ask advice. The front desk is staffed by Debbie, who will be happy to assist with any enquiries.

Alternatively, if you wish to speak with the Neighbourhood Team then please attend one of our drop-in sessions that we hold every month, at different locations around Barton. Details can be found on this website under the 'Meetings and Events' tab.

In addition to the Barton Neighbourhood Team, our Police Station is staffed day-and-night by Response Officers who attend emergencies and 999 calls throughout Barton and surrounding areas. Also based at Barton Police Station is the Ferry Ward Neighbourhood Team, plus the Burton & Winterton Neighbourhood Team.
