Police have increased their patrols in this area in marked vehicles and plain cars. If anyone see's any Anti-Social Behaviour and/or criminal activity please contact that local policing team. This is an area that should be enjoyed by all and therefore we are keen to ensure any activity which prevents this from happening stops.

Please be aware that we are dealing postively with those seen to be committing traffic offences in and around the schools in this area. Please be considerate when parking and driving to and from the schools. We all want our children to be save so if you cant park safe and legally, find somewhere you can!

In recent weeks there has been a number of thefts reported from the cemetary on Mersea Road. This is particuarly distressing for all, but especially family members as items have been stolen from the graves of young children.

We have also seen an increase in theft of pedal cycles in the south of Colchester. Please be vigilant and take extra care with your bike if you leave it unattended. There are a number of ways you can get your bike "postcoded" to provide extra security in the event that your bike is stolen. Please contact us if you wish to find out more information.
