‘Don’t tolerate it... report it’ - that’s the crucial New Year message from the Sussex Safer Roads Partnership to residents in Sussex. By getting involved with Operation Crackdown local residents can help make the roads of Sussex safer for everyone in 2010 and beyond.

All is great in Bedford Square going by my stats at the moment, so thats good news! Nic

If you, or anyone you know, has been subject to cold callers over the last few days please make contact with Sussex Police on the non emergency telephone number 0845 60 70 999. You may have been approached by people offering to carry out work on your roof, driveway, fencing, trees or similar at your home address or you may have received a visit from someone stating they are from a utilities company but  they did not have identification or you felt uneasy about them.

If you have been approached in a manner similar to the examples above and have refused, or accepted, their services please let us know. We will ask about dates and times of incidents and for descriptions of the people involved. If you have paid for work and it has not been carried out please still contact us. There is no shame in having believed what these people say; they are very convincing liars.admin

If anyone saw who caused the damage to the payphone in Bedford Square, can they inform the police or crimestoppers

we have already reported it to BT so hopefully it will be fixed asap

UPDATE 07 Jan

I believe the engineer attended to this and did not have the right tools
and had to abandon the job, I have now email the Field manager and
requested that someone attends as soon as possible.

Dear all,

I thought I would send out a monthly Neighbourhood watch message from Police Headquarters to keep you all informed and ask that you pass on the details to those who do not have the internet.

The Police across the county were involved in the national campaign of Not in my Neighbourhood week between the 2-6 November.
A whole range of local initiatives were undertaken from street meetings to crime patrols and I would like to thank all those Neighbourhood Watch members who got involved.

The darker nights are now with us as the clocks have changed and I would ask all neighbourhood watch members to remind the public to leave a light on within their premises if they go out in the evening.

This is the content of an open letter to the Dog Wardens, the neighbourhood policing team and copied to the local councillors for action

Hello,
As you have seen the evidence and on speaking to some of the regular dog walkers, We are formally requesting that a lengthy visit is made to Bedford Square for the following reasons
under the following page http://www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/index.cfm?request=c1195746
* To asses the state and clarify of the No Dogs signage on each of the gates.
* To uphold the "no dogs allowed" rule as indicated.
* Where required to enforce the action.

We have previously provided details of time that dogs are visiting and the story of "I am just visiting the area" does not hold water.

Did you recieve a neighbourhood watch newsletter through your door? If not, dont be suprised.
Recently a couple of PCSO's and a police volunteer delivered  "do you want a watch group" style form through each door.
Thats around 32 letters. Depsite there being on average 5 flats per building, lets say 200 households. So they missed 170 people in their lefalet drop. This depsite the fact there is already a known (to the police) Neighbourhood Watch group operating within Bedford Square.

It is also listed on
