The busiest week for Sheringham Police is now
behind us. We saw a large turn out for the carnival parade and the public events
afterwards, which I am pleased to say, resulted in only one arrest for a minor offence.
The general behaviour was excellent the event finally coming to a close at 0200am with
every body heading to the Kebab shop before finding their way home. Saturday saw the
passing of John West and all the sorrow this bought to the Town. Myself and the Officers
at Sheringham offer our condolences to John's family. I continue to receive
complaints of cars speeding in the centre of Town and being a nuisance on the Station Road
car park. The officers at Sheringham continue to take positive action on these matters and
as a result more officers are being trained in the use of speed guns. As I patrol, I see
that members of the public are still placing cars for sale on the lay-by opposite Childs
Way. This is in breach of the parking regulations in place there and as such can result in
a fixed penalty ticket, so I ask that this practice be discontinued. I have recently seen
a report of an incident that one of our elderly residents was approached at their home and
had tasks completed around their property resulting in an over inflated bill for services
rendered. I would suggest it is always a good idea to use locally known trades man and if
you are approached and feel worried then phone the Police. We will always try to attend,
to put your mind at rest. As always, if you need to speak to a Police officer regarding
Bogus Callers or any other matter please contact Sheringham or call in at the Station.

If
practice makes perfect and nobody's perfect,
why practice? |

"We face the real prospect of a cut in
policemen in Norfolk and the fault lies squarely at the door of David Blunkett. He talks
tough but has shackled the Police at every opportunity by imposing ridiculous amounts of
bureaucracy and paperpushing. These extra burdens are unfunded and he expects local
council tax payers to do his dirty work for him. We learnt this week that the Norfolk
Norwich Hospital is £15
million in the red and that local schools are about to lay off 100 teachers. Now we learn
that police are under threat too as a £7.8 million black hole has been discovered in
Norfolk Police funding. This is too much of a coincidence and demonstrates clearly that
Labour are underfunding our public services while at the same time spinning that things
have got better. Norfolk people can see clearly with their own eyes what is happening and
no amount of spin from David Blunkett can hide the fact that our Police are facing a
mounting funding crisis. |
