Bookmark and Share





Police in Tameside launched a respect week of action to tackle local priorities.

From 16 to 22 January, officers worked with the community make Droylsden a better place.

Two warrants were executed on Trent Walk and Fairfield Square following information from residents. At this stage there have been no arrests.

Community Payback offenders cleaned up areas including York Road Park and Gloucester Road alley. Officers consulted the community before the clean-up was carried out so they could choose the area they thought needed the most attention. Graffiti was also cleared from spots in the area by Tameside Council.

Officers made visits to Droylsden Academy to provide crime prevention advice and to answer questions from pupils. Approximately 70 pupils were advised about robbery on their way home from school as they were texting or had valuables on show. Criminals like to target young people with expensive items and by keeping them hidden from view it greatly reduces the chances of being targeted.

More than 400 homes were visited to advise residents that criminals may want to target the visible lead on the property. Operation Alloy is in place to target metal theft and visits were made to scrap dealers to assist in tackling the people who take stolen metal to them.

At the end of the week a ‘Droylsden Better Event’ was held at Droylsden Acedemy. More that 45 local community groups and agencies attended and approximately 2,500 people turned up.

PC Chris Hayden said: “Once again the people of Droylsden have proved how much they care about their area and all pulled together to make it a better place. Without their support we could not make the progress and achieved the successes that we have. Some volunteers spend hours working with us and they really are a credit to the community.”

To report a crime call police on 101 the new national non-emergency number.
