Police agree to residents’ meeting

Lincolnshire Police have agreed to meet residents of a Spalding estate concerned about anti-social behaviour.

Residents in and around Severn Road called a public meeting to discuss the issues last month.
It was attended by South Holland and the Deepings MP Sir John Hayes, and South Holland District Council officers and members including Couns Tracey Carter and Rob Gibson.
But the residents were left disappointed that nobody from Lincolnshire Police attended, as had been requested.
A representative from Lincolnshire Police and Crime Commissioner Marc Jones’ office was expected to attend, but residents were told on the day that a Lincolnshire Police representative would come instead, however nobody arrived.
Now police have agreed to attend a meeting which will take place at Nene Court Community Centre on Tuesday, July 25 at 6pm.
Concerns were raised at the previous meeting that particular homes of vulnerable people on Severn Road had been specifically targeted and were harbouring illegal activity.
In 2021 a two-year Partial Closure Order was placed on a particular property where activity known as ‘cuckooing’ was taking place but that order had finished.
It was announced at the last meeting that four people, Donna Pleasence, Kelly Dye, Jonathon Taylor and Mia Rock, had been banned from Severn Road, Nene Court, Wensum Close and Thames Road in Spalding.
They must not cause harassment, alarm or distress or threaten anyone in the area.
They are also banned from obtaining money or benefits from anyone not related to them. The ban includes removing property from named individuals.
Rock’s order has an additional stipulation with a power of arrest if found to be in breach of any of the clauses within the court order.
