Uppingham Town Council Seeks Collaborative Solutions to Recent Vandalism through Public Meeting with Police and Crime Commissioner
In light of recent incidents of vandalism and anti-social behavior, Uppingham Town Councillors are taking a proactive approach to enhance community safety. During a constructive Town Council meeting on January 8, chaired by David Ainslie, the council resolved to organise a public meeting with Leicestershire and Rutland Police and Crime Commissioner, Rupert Matthews. This initiative aims to foster open dialogue and cooperation between residents and law enforcement.
The decision follows several distressing incidents, particularly during the Christmas season, including vandalism at the Leicester Road cemetery and damage to public toilets. By addressing these issues head-on, the council hopes to engage the community in finding effective solutions.
Councilor Trevor Colbourne highlighted the need for enhanced policing since the departure of former dedicated beat officer Rebecca Angel, suggesting that a public meeting could facilitate community involvement and support for local policing efforts. He believes that residents are eager to collaborate with law enforcement to improve safety and security in the area.
This upcoming public forum represents an important opportunity for the community to come together, share concerns, and explore constructive solutions to the challenges faced. The Town Council is committed to working closely with local residents and the police to create a safer Uppingham for everyone.
As plans for the public meeting come together, residents are encouraged to participate and contribute to this vital discussion about community safety and well-being. Together, through collaboration and understanding, Uppingham can work towards a positive future for all its inhabitants.
