Crediit where it’s due I wanted to point out, almost 2 weeks after the first police review meeting, things are much improved in the town centre with tramps, pedzone cars etc.
Some issues remain:
1. In 2 weeks I haven’t seen any police foot patrols day or night. Prowl cars excellent.
2. Some tramps remain at the BetFred benches: drunk and yelling and litter before 6pm and drug gangs/groups:
3. Lots of bicycles in the pedzone: zooming through, wheelies, groups of kids and often going the wrong way through – is CCTV working? Road Safety generally 20mph (and road crash maps) and future bike reg/insurance/helmets?
An OAP/child will be seriously injured or killed soon.
4. Cars on pavements: mainly the kebab shop Slovak reg car and beach kiosk owners – the pedzone and seafront should also be extended soon: 8am to midnight? And marina/harbour car reduction. Same day towing/fines and clamp/crush should be viable: plenty of free car parks
5. Street drinking from newsagent single cans still an issue – a condition of licence/no sales before noon? An ASBO Most wanted ban list? Tobacco controls a separate licence issue?
6. A useful update would be on drugs gangs and dealers/County Lines as it goes underground again – Lords report on seaside towns heroin use and largescale former Blockbuster store town centre cannabis site/Manston 3am flights/yachts shows a major issue
7. Wetherspoons review: seafront funnelling into town centre/seafront – the largest pub in UK
8. Prowl car non-999 tasks review: ASBO noise policy with TDC closed at night, parking tickets, litter/grafitti grotspots, broken street lights, potholes reporting
9. Generally, concern over port still being used for live animal exports: collusion between port staff and police despite a council vote to end use: Port Act 1847 and Animal Welfare allows lorries to be turned away
10. FOI on staffing/salaries/ EK rota etc useful against £250M budget – excessive guns/ammo/training a concern
11. Thanet Metals dumped van/immobile sign by Copart Ltd near Pfizer (and several Bedz Ramsgate eyesore roadside signs), and broken wind turbine for scrap/dismantling nearby at Richboro/MT Energie
12. Manston airport DCO and Pleasurama and Dreamland final stages of council corruption
13. Pandemic #1 UK strategic threat: TB to ricin etc etc. A review of vaccines/policy etc would be useful
14. Truancy: by school and offrolling
15. Social dumping: by Maidstone and London – review of care homes, police presence etc
16. Bank Holidays and festivals: police overview
Hope these points are useful.
Kindest regards
