Caroline Flint MP supports Doncaster's
"Not in my Neighbourhood" week

19 October 2007

Caroline Flint MP joined Doncaster's campaign to say NO to antisocial behaviour this week, joining the Safer Doncaster Partnership's week of activities to say No to crime, antisocial behaviour and alcohol misuse.

The Don Valley MP Ms Flint joined Year 6 pupils from St Joseph's Primary School, Rossington to undertake a litter pick with the local Safer Neighbourhood Team.
Said Ms Flint: "The pupils did a great job clearing litter from around some senior citizens bungalows near the school and along West End Lane. The pupils are obviously proud of their school and want to keep the area tidy."

Ms Flint also met the Safer Neighbourhood Team to see the mobile digital speed Display Unit in operation. St Joseph's pupil Lauren Forrest recorded the speed of each passing vehicle.

Ms Flint also met PC Mike Dewsnap and PCSO Martin Hinchcliffe who patrol the village on bikes. Said Ms Flint: "The bicycle patrols are the perfect tool for high visibility patrolling. The officers can cover a lot of ground and stop and talk to people easily and they can navigate walkways and off-road areas."

Said Ms Flint: "I hope that Not in my Neighbourhood Week has got the message across that antisocial behaviour, littering, vandalism and the like will not be tolerated."
