Residents in The Twinnings, Stowmarket will benefit from a
‘cleaner, greener and safer’ environment after officers from Mid
Suffolk District Council and Suffolk Police target the area on
Wednesday 20 August.
The ‘Not in my neighbourhood day’ is designed to make residents
in an area feel safer and gives them the opportunity to talk with
officers from both authorities on issues that concern them.
On the day, Suffolk Police will have their ‘Police Pod’ on hand
to encourage residents to go and talk with members of the
Stowmarket Safer Neighbourhood Teams to discuss issues on crime and
safety. A team from the Domestic Violence Unit will also be on hand
to talk with residents.
Other events taking place on the day include:
- Two mediation sessions have also been arranged, one in the
morning and one in the evening, to work with neighbours on recent
disputes
- Officers from Mid Suffolk will be on hand to give Housing
Advice and to discuss rent payments for council tenants
- Members of the Tenants Forum will be attending to give advice
about resident involvement and participation
- Officers from Environmental Health will talk with residents on
key concerns such as noise and dog mess
- The Recycling Team will also be showing residents how to
recycle and providing activities for children
- Officers from Environment and Waste will also be clearing
rubbish and bulky items from gardens
Acting Inspector Jane Hertzog added; “By joining together with
our partners at Mid Suffolk, we can make a real impact on the
quality of life of residents of The Twinnings. Stowmarket’s Safer
Neighbourhood Teams regularly meet with and speak to people in the
town to find out their concerns and work to tackle issues with our
partners, and anyone who isn’t able to speak to an officer on the
day is encouraged to contact the teams at the police station or
through our website at
www.safersuffolk.org.uk
