Humber-talking has set our priorities, this month we are to:
- Preventing Theft
We are aware of concerns regarding Thefts in the ward area.
Action:
We have been working hard to provide support and guidance to prevent further offences whether it occurs on the forecourt or the garden, whilst completing enquiries to identify and tackle those responsible. We will be completing regular patrols in the areas of concern.
If anybody has information about those responsible for these types of offences, then please contact us through the 101 number or alternatively, by calling the independent charity Crimestoppers (0800 555 111).
- Tackling ASB, reducing damage and Arson
We regularly deploy high visibility patrols to our communities in response to reports of criminal damage, drug dealing and anti-social behaviour involving scrambler bikes and mopeds.
The local policing team have also had productive meetings with partners from East Riding Council, Parish Councils and Neighbourhood Watch groups to listen to community concerns.
We understand how distressing acts of mindless vandalism in our parks and green spaces can be and I want to reassure the community in Mid Holderness that we take a zero-tolerance approach to anti-social and criminal behaviour.
Our officers are also committed to eradicating the harm that the illegal and anti-social use of off-road bikes cause to the communities through our Operation Yellowfin.
Action – during the summer, members of the Holderness Policing Team will conduct regular high-visibility patrols and partnership working is ongoing to make sure that Holderness is a green space for everyone to enjoy as we head into the summer months.
Rest assured, where we receive reports of anti-social and criminal behaviour, we will not hesitate to take action. If you witness any such behaviour in your community, please let us know so we can respond, target patrols to the relevant areas and stop criminals in their tracks.
Anyone who wishes to report anti-social or criminal behaviour can contact The Police on 101 or East Riding of Yorkshire Council on 01482 393939
How you can help
Your local Neighbourhood Policing Team appreciates the importance of being in the right place, at the right time, for the right reasons to reassure the public, improve public confidence and reduce crime and anti-social behaviour in the area in which we all live and work.
We encourage all residents to call and report any issues where they live so that we can deal with any issues and step up our patrols in that area.
If you feel that there are other issues affecting you or your local community that should be given priority, please inform your local councillors or your Neighbourhood Policing Team.

FOUR TIPS FOR SHARING THE ROAD WITH FARMERS
It is getting to be that time of year again! Many farmers are out in their fields with harvesting their crops. Which means tractors and other large farm equipment will be out on the roads.
Every year we hear of accidents occurring between motorist and farm equipment. These accidents can be prevented, here are four tips to help prevent an accident.
1. Slow Down!
The tractors are moving much slower than regular motorist. This means you will approach them much quicker than other traffic. As soon as you see them, you need to start slowing down.
2. Know your Surroundings.
This means, be mindful of your location. Know what kind of traffic is up ahead of you and the equipment, also be aware of the traffic that is behind you. You must also watch for drivers that are not being as patient. They may try to pass you and the equipment, or others may pull out in front of you and the equipment.
Be sure to also watch for turn signals or even hand signals from the driver in the tractor. He may be turning into a field entrance that you may not see or notice.
3. Leave plenty of space between you and the equipment.
This includes when you are behind them waiting to pass and while passing them. If you can’t see the driver and his mirrors, he can’t see you. Also keep in mind they will need more space to turn.
4. Be Patient!
They are working hard and appreciate your patience. They are out doing their job of feeding the world.
And remember to always give a wave!
