[Owl is not quite sure why most questions seem to be about Exmouth]

… Questions put in advance to Police and Crime Commissioner for response on 3 November 2016

Bill Nash
EDDC Councillor for Exmouth Town Ward

Q1 What more can be done to overcome the extreme disturbance from Boy/Girl Racers in both cars & motor bikes?

The local Exmouth police monitored one of the five roads for speed where residents were being disturbed and woken at night. They concluded “that the results recommend no further action by enforcement or regulatory bodies “. Excessive noise is being caused by anti-social driving. What can be done?

Q2 Why is there not visible policing in Exmouth particularly at night? During the day there are very few PCSO’s visible.

Q3 Is Exmouth police station due to be closed completely as proposed in 2015? For a town of 38,000 rising to 50,000 in summer months a police presence should be available with public access – not just ” phone 101 “.

Alan Dent
Vice Chairman of Scrutiny Committee

Q4 What guarantee is there for our PCSOs to continue in employment?

Q5 What improvements have been made to the 101 service?

Richard Scott
Exmouth Town Councillor

Q6 I would like to know if Alison Hernandez is aware of the roadshow we held at Exmouth and if so could she explain what her office intends to do about one of the largest complaints, notably girl and boy racers on the seafront and the main thoroughfares from the sea front such as Carlton Hill, where speeds of double the speed limit are commonplace through residential streets?

Q7 Also could she explain why her office needs a head count of 20.3 and expenditure of 1.4 million, could this money and heads be better spent and used out on the streets of Devon and Cornwall?

Councillor Bruce de Saram Councillor for Exmouth Town Ward

Q8 Does the Police Commissioner agreed that one of the Licensing objectives is the Prevention of crime and disorder in which the Police are regarded as being the Lead Agency in implementing this strategy? Can you please confirm that Exmouth will definitely receive adequate support from the PCSO’s on the beat to achieve this objective so that the Police logs will clearly show when they are called out to deal with a licensing issue. This is because there has been confusion around this issue due to a lack of Police resources to attend and log the problem.”
