Community safety

Nice to see Dave Rollings, Central Beds crime reduction officer at the PC last night. Dave has been off for a while but he was in good form. The issues remain the same of course, drinking and debris in the recreation ground racing up at the Tech Park. Ken Matthews reported that some kind of traffic humps at the tech park might be a step nearer.

The question has come up about keeping the community safety committee going. It was originally a public forum when I first got involved with access to funding. But membership was transient and the funding was a bureaucratic headache. At one point we had to bid jointly with Stotfold and Sandy for money for kill-your-speed wheelie bin stickers. I must have spent weeks on emails agreeing specs and looking at bids from printers. Then there were always further delays. There are still some bins around the villages with these stickers on something happened in the end.
