Safer Thurrock
In Response to problems raised by the WELCOM forum
What We Plan to Do
The issue of nuisance motorbikes across the borough is being addressed with
the installation of signage explaining powers which include seizing any
unauthorised vehicle. The signs are being put up in a variety of areas including
Gobions Park, Colne Field and Coalhouse Fort.
Dispersal orders continue to be used in appropriate areas across the borough
to address issues of Anti-social Behaviour.
We are introducing ‘No Cold Calling Areas’ at sheltered housing complexes
where required in Thurrock, to protect residents from rogue traders and
burglars.
How You Can Help Us:
The Partners of the Thurrock Community Safety Partnership continue to work
to make your area safer and feel safer. Neighbourhood Policing Teams dedicate
80 per cent of their time patrolling your neighbourhood but they cannot be on
every street every minute of the day.
Everyone can make a difference in the fight against crime, ensuring they
secure their home, car, garage and shed and avoid leaving valuables on show.
Remember to shut all doors and windows and never leave your car running
while unattended. Property marking kits are also available from your local
police station. For more information about policing in your area visit
