Notes
Neil Taylor Sergeant for Bletchley Police station confirmed that NL was not currently part of the typical control routes. Low level of anti-social behaviour on the development. To ensure this continues, residents must be proactive and inform the police. It is acceptable to take photos of persons committing an offence to then pass onto the police for further investigation. The police can influence HA and private tenancy agreements. Highlighted the issues with speeding lorries heading down towards the landfill. Query whether we can be supplied with community speed monitoring equipment. Neil said that he would also monitor the situation. James to continue to highlight it to the landfill management. Query whether we should be complaining directly to the transport companies, but we would need evidence. Neil has agreed that we will be included in the PCSO routes. The bad parking is causing issues for the police and emergency services. Call 101 for non-emergency police help

AOB Emma had received a letter from a resident who had been fined for not putting their household rubbish on their property boundary. The resident was disgruntled and felt that they had been singled out and should have been approached directly rather than a complaint made directly to the council Wind turbine SDLT stance re the wind turbine at the landfill is that they cannot get involved directly, but will support where they are able. PN to provide further updates at the next RA meeting Agreed that RA committee meetings will be held bi monthly for the first year and will review again at the next AGM.
