You Said, We Did:
As a result of complaints of poor driving and dangerous parking the Prestwich Team have been enforcing obstruction legislation, particularly around Sedgley Park Road in the Sedgley area. Operation Halt has been put in place regarding repeat complaints of speeding and other road related concerns. The Prestwich Team continue to conduct monthly operations to target anti-social driving and the linked offences. Heywood Road in Holyrood continues to be a focus with speeding drivers targeted by our operation. We have successfully taken vehicles off the streets for no insurance and off-road bikes in in the Sedgley area following repeated complaints at PACT meetings. .
Your Prestwich Neighbourhood Team have conducted several warrants over the last couple of months in relation to drug dealing and the associated criminality. Several investigations are continuing, and we will continue to act on information reported to us to disrupt and prosecute this activity in our area.
We will continue to target those we suspect are involved in organised crime and drug related activity across Greater Manchester, specifically here on the Bury District.
Your Prestwich Team are also involved in regular patrols to reassure our communities.
Further Initiatives have included:
-Operation Sceptre School Visits and knife crime talks.
-High Visibility Policing of community events in Prestwich over a busy Summer.
-Targeted Activity Around Drugs/Warrants.
