An update from your South Northants neighbourhood policing team |

Dear residents,
In April, we set three local priorities – Road safety and road traffic offences, rural crime, and drug dealing and drug misuse. These were based on what local people told us concerned them most in their neighbourhood, as well as local crime statistics and information from our partners (such as the local council). These priorities have been the focus of much of our work and below is an update about some of the work we have been doing to tackle them over the last three months.
Road safety and road traffic offences As part of Operation Pitlane, the policing operation for the Formula 1 Grand Prix at Silverstone, neighbourhood officers actively patrolled around the circuit and surrounding villages. Working alongside our council and education partners across the area, we have continued patrols outside local schools in response to parking issues. Following complaints from residents in Cosgrove and Grange Park, we continue to work with the community to enforce safe parking and reduce obstructions. In May, we attended Campion School to deliver a road safety event aimed at sixth-form students who are learning to drive, educating them about the dangers of drink and drug driving and how to stay safe on the roads. We continue to work alongside the Safer Roads Team and the community in Nether Heyford to address concerns regarding vehicles driving through the village without adhering to road signs. Working alongside the Community Speedwatch team in April, we carried out speed enforcement activity in Towcester, resulting in a warning letter being sent to a driver in Buckingham Way.
Rural crime In May, we carried out multiple bike marking and crime prevention events across Towcester, Bugbrooke, Nether Heyford and other rural villages. So far, more than 35 bikes have been marked. In April, we carried out high visibility patrols across the Castle Ashby area during a busy weekend.
Drug dealing and drug misuse The neighbourhood policing team executed two warrants relating to drug offences in Brackley. Investigations remain ongoing.
Everyone who lives or works in Northamptonshire is invited to tell us about any local issues that concern them and the easiest way to do this is by completing our Local Priorities survey
