"Day of Action" at Wynyard Mews
Published Friday, 12th October 2018A multi-agency "Day of Action" centring on flats in Hartlepool aims to tackle a wide range of crime, anti-social behaviour and environmental issues.
The initiative – led by the Hartlepool
Community Safety Team under the umbrella of the Safer Hartlepool Partnership -
will take place on Tuesday
16 October.
It will target Wynyard Mews, blocks of
flats off Wynyard Road in the town’s Manor House ward.
Works to be carried out include replacing
bushes on the corner of Wynyard Mews with grass, removal of litter, removal of
fly-tipped rubbish and checks for untaxed vehicles parked on the highway.
A door knock/leaflet drop will also be carried
out in the area and additional police patrols will take place.
Councillor Christopher Akers-Belcher,
Chair of the Safer Hartlepool Partnership and Leader of Hartlepool Borough
Council, said: “This latest Day of Action follows a similar operation carried
out recently in a number of streets in Hartlepool town centre which proved very
successful.
“We hope the Wynyard Mews initiative will have the same positive effect and we would urge residents to support us in our efforts to tackle the issues affecting this area.”

Chief Inspector Nigel Burnell from the team said: “We are keen to take a problem-solving approach to identity and address the underlying causes of the problems affecting our local communities.”
