The figures shown give a mixed but largely negative picture of criminal activities in the ward.
The reduction of ASB in September from 17 in August down to 4 is something we are really
proud of, and a reflection of the work we have put in to target that specific problem. The year on
year increases should be viewed in the perspective of the low crime rates we have in the East
Riding where small increases in numbers of crime often reflect as huge percentage increases.
or example the highest rise in year on year crime is that of Theft of Motor Vehicles, a 60% increase.
This however is an increase by only 3 offences from 5 to 8. Any increase in crime is, however,
unacceptable and we will continue to work towards continuous reductions across all crime types.

3. Community Priorities
The Neighbourhood Policing Team meet regularly with partners to ensure we have a multi-agency
approach to local issues, individuals and problem solving. These meetings are regularly attended
by partners including Humberside Fire and Rescue Service, Youth and Family Support, Housing
Officers, Environmental Health and the East Riding Anti-Social Behaviour Team. We share
information and resources to deal with local neighbourhood issues, in particular, those identified
as causing the most harm in the community.
- Market Weighton Town Centre area (Evenings):
Throughout October we are to continue our high visibility patrols of the Market Weighton Town
Centre area to deter potential anti-social behaviour (ASB). These patrols include regular checks
on the High Street and peripheral areas of Londesborough Road Car Park, Scotts Croft Memorial Park,
the town council building area and the area surrounding the Giant Bradley statue (periodic reports of
youths causing annoyance). Criminal offenders will be challenged robustly, arrested or reported for
summons. Penalty Notices for Disorder or warning letters may be used in appropriate cases however,
those who offend should expect to be arrested and dealt with if their anti social behaviour amounts to
criminal offending.

4. Crime Reduction Advice
Be prepared.
With winter on its way and the evenings starting to get darker, please consider the suggestions below
and be prepared!
- Home
Don’t let a burglar think that no one is at home. Always leave a light on in more than one room, eg
a bedroom, kitchen or lounge and consider leaving a radio on too.

Use timer switches so that the lights come on as it starts to get dark especially if you are at work or
going to be out all day. Change the times on the switches so that the lights come on at different times to create the illusion that someone is moving around inside the house.
