Update
The Birch and Winstree area is currently showing a reduction in
crime since last year!!!
CATALYTIC CONVERTOR AND METAL THEFTS...
As a rural area we are succeptable to Metal and Catalytic convertor
thefts, more so than the more urban areas. Please make sure that
your vehicles are parked in a well lit area where possible and with
the rear of the vehicle backed against garages etc so as to hinder
the extraction as much as possible. There are locking devices that
can be purchased.
Please contact me if you wish for further advice.
REPORTING SUSPICIOUS PEOPLE AND VEHICLES
I would also like to remind people that if they see a person or
vehicle acting suspiciously to take as much detail as possible such
as index plates, colour, description of people and direction of
travel and call police immediately, we would rather come out to a
false alarm than not be called at all.
* 999 (For use in a an emergency, suspects on premises etc)
* 0300 333 4444 (Essex Police non emergency number)
FLYTIPPING
Members of the public are urged to keep a look out when driving
around Tiptree and surrounding villages for tipper and flat bed
vehicles carrying waste. They do not have to be seen committing
Flytipping but merely carrying the waste. We are asking for the
public to record the registration, time and place seen and what the
vehicle was carrying. Checks will then ecent spate of this kind of
crime in particularly the Birch area, and I would ask residents to
keep an eye open for suspicious activity in the area.
be completed by the council who will investigate if a waste
carriers licence is held and where the rubbish was disposed of.
Those found carrying waste illegally can be fined £300.
Flytipping or information regarding vehicles can be reported to the
council on 01206 - 282700, the contact to pass the information to
Street Services Colchester.
If you have any information which is not an emergency please
contact me on 07966 197 404.

neighbourhood a safer place to live, work and visit.
