Speeding is an issue in our area and we would like to see more police patrols dedicated to this issue

We have listened to the public as to where the main areas of concern regarding speeding are. We continue to run regular operations at these locations and any drivers found travelling over the limit are referred to camera safety partners. Areas of concern are identified in the PACT meeting and are reviewed each time.

We'd like you to tackle anti-social behaviour in our area, specifically we are having a lot of problems in the Thurnscoe area.

We have noticed a decline in the number of ASB issues we have been having throughout the Dearne, especially in the Thurnscoe area. We have upped our patrols at all times of day and into the late evening when the problems are more prevalent. We have also had new cameras installed to help identify any people causing the issues
We try and update the public on our social media to let them know what we are doing in the area. We are also working closely with Stagecoach buses due to the services being stopped at certain times. We urge members of the public to report any problems either via 101, online or on crime stoppers.

What are you doing about all of the stolen cars in the Dearne?

When a stolen car is located in the Dearne we always get them recovered and sent off for CSI examination, which will hopefully identify an offender. We do extensive checks of CCTV from where the vehicles were stolen and the place where they are found. A number of key arrests have been made in the last few months and offenders are being processed for these offences.

Priority - ASB Willow Heights, Thurnscoe
Residents attended a meeting indicating that youth in the area were throwing rocks and stones over fences and at houses.

Action Taken - We conducted a week long Op in the area, both in plain clothes and in uniform. We also worked in partnership with our council colleagues. There were no instances of related ASB in that time period and since the issue was raised in January 2024, there have only been 5 related ASB reports, the last coming in July. We will continue to tackle ASB and those responsible for it to improve on the near reduction we have seen since last year.

Priority - Off Road Bikes

Off road bikes are an issue in the area, and indeed across the country. Concerns have been raised about how to police these.

Action Taken - We continue to seize off road motorbikes and uninsured vehicles on a regular basis. On the team, we currently have PC Smith who is an advanced driver and PS Aston who is pursuit trained and a drone pilot.

We continue to work with and educate young people about proper and safe use of such vehicles, whilst also ensuring that everyone in the community remains safe. We use all resources available to us, including the dedicated off-road bike team and roads policing units. We regularly post actions regarding vehicle seizure and prosecutions on our Facebook page.

Priority - Burglary of residential properties in Thurnscoe and Goldthorpe has been a running issue for some time. What is being done?

PS Aston has identified that, whilst the figures for Burglary were high, they were heavily inflated by the number of empty properties being broken in to. The regeneration around Goldthorpe has seen many properties fall empty, pending being demolished. Working with our Council colleagues, all empty properties have been heavily secured to deter entry. All saleable contents from inside has been removed and we continue to work with waste disposal companies to identify and target anyone trying to sell such items. We have also completed Op Hawkeye, a target hardening initiative which has really driven down the number of reported burglaries across the Dearne.
