The Holyrood Ward ‘PACT’ meeting took place last week (‘Police and Communities Together’) with our local Holyrood Ward PSCOs.

Two main points to report:

- although most types of crime have fallen in the southern part of Holyrood Ward (the area nearer to Heaton Park)  – the number 1 issue remains anti-social behaviour. This is particularly an issue around Heaton Park Metrolink station. The Police have agreed that this will be one of their 3 priorities for Holyrood Ward over the next month.

– Vehicle Crime – please do be careful about leaving valuables visible in cars, and the Police do ask us to be particularly careful as winter approaches – a number of thefts occurred last year as people had left cars to defrost with the engine running!

Hope this is useful. Please let me know if there are other issues you would like me to feed into the Police.
