Police target Southampton estate
"WE will not tolerate speeding, drink-driving and antisocial behaviour."
That was the stark message from police as officers targeted a troubled Southampton estate last night.
More than 25 officers swept through the Flowers Estate in a major crackdown after residents complained about spiralling levels of antisocial behaviour and dangerous driving.
Stop-checks were set up on the three main routes into the estate, in Bassett, as part of the operation, while teams of officers from Portswood police station set out on foot and in cars to target known offenders.
Operation Order also saw motorists pulled over in Bassett Green Road, a notorious accident blackspot which runs along one side of the estate.
Vehicles were subjected to in-depth checks by teams led by officers from Totton roads policing unit to make sure they were roadworthy.
Operation Order was masterminded by PC Adam Scott.
He said: "The operation was put into place to combat a couple of things.
"The first was speeding, antisocial and dangerous driving, specifically along the roads surrounding the Flowers estate such as Bassett Green Road and Leaside Road.
"We carried out random stop checks to make sure the cars had no defects, and they were safe and road worthy.
"One of the main goals was road safety awareness, especially in the run up to Christmas.
"The latter part of the operation was in and around the Flowers Estate in roads such as Daisy Dip, Poppy Road and Carnation Road.
"We were enforcing the section 30 dispersal order which allows us to disperse groups of two or more people in certain roads, as well as chasing up youngsters with ASBOs and curfews.
| Speeding is a real problem around the estate. Youngsters drive up and down the streets like they are a rally track. | | Flowers estate resident |
|
"In the build up to Christmas we wanted to get the message across early that we will not tolerate speeding, we will not tolerate drink-driving and we will not tolerate antisocial behaviour."
One man was arrested for drink-driving as a result of the stop checks and taken to Southampton Central police station. Several others were given warnings.
Police then made their way into the estate in marked and unmarked cars.
Automatic number plate recognition technology was used to identify drivers wanted for other offences.
The operation was welcomed by residents.
One, who asked not to be named, said: "Speeding is a real problem around the estate. Youngsters drive up and down the streets like they are a rally track.
"It's so dangerous, and it'll only be a matter of time before someone is seriously injured or killed."
Another resident added: "If the police are on the estate it reminds youngsters they can't just go around doing whatever they like."
Police hailed the operation a success. PC Scott said: "Although there was only one arrest made, the message we are trying to get out there is to make people realise that we are building up a lot of intelligence about the area. We know faces and we know names.
"It may seem the police are not on the estate all the time but we are always behind the scenes, listening to what the community is telling us."

I don't doubt this is true and that the Police are trying to do the right thing.
Trouble is the criminal justice system then lets the pond life escape any meaningful punishment.
We need to start taking away their cars, Sky viewing cards, season tickets and keeping them under house arrest.

Good luck to the police, I hope they sort some of these problems out for the 95% of people who live there and just want to get on with their lives. That would be some Christmas present.

Why was this a special operation ? This surely should be a normal event for our Police force.

Time that new laws were introduced to combat this problem.....
1.instant arrest for any driver wearing a baseball cap
2. instant driving ban for any seat ibiza or vauxhall corsa drivers
3. corporal punishment for any one that has the urge to put neon lights under their car &
4.public flogging for any one with an exhaust larger than a few centimeters.

[/quote] Exactly. The police do a token exercises publicise it and go oh look how great we are. It took the death of an innocent Indian man in fawley before the police did anything, even tho around the fawley and blackfield areas there has been anti social problems for years.
I had groups of kids up to 20 of them playing football on the street at 10 at night, the police would do nothing about them the noise. It took the housing association around here to act on it, the police are not interested unless there is publicity to be made or things go belly up and they have to be seen to of acted.

all this and one arrest ? They should come around my way and I'd guarantee at least a dozen cars could be towed away and crushed.
Why waste resources on the flowers Estate.... it's beyond repair now. Parents don't give a stuff about their kids, who when they become parents (usually in their early teens)are even worse !!

excellent work by the police on the estate and I hope it sends a clear message to the adults as well as the kids on the estate. The parents are as much to blame as they neglect to monitor where their kids are or when or who with and if challenged obver thekids behaviour they flatly deny their kids involvement. Often they lie on pupose to save the kids from justice!

I can remember a few years ago,the times when i used to spend my hard earned cash on souping up cars with stripes and noisy exhausts and yes, sometimes behaving like a bit of a prat wheel spinning and showing of the loud sound sytem. Only difference between then and now is if you got caught today you can laugh at the police.

It's all too easy for people like me, who are old and exhausted, to forget that they were once in their early teens with oodles of energy to be spent, one way or another.
Kids need a space to play and a culture that's sympathetic to them.
50 years ago kids could play in the streets without fear of being run over. There were countless green spaces. You can't even take your dog for a loo-walk nowadays.

A unique boardwalk could be built in Southampton - but we need your vote to make it happen.
The Connect2 project is organised by Sustrans, the sustainable transport charity. They are bidding for a £50 million lottery grant, which will fund the creation of essential links, bridges, cycle and foot paths right across the UK.
In Southampton a boardwalk would be created along part of the River Itchen, between Northam Bridge and Horsham Bridge, Priory Road.
The boardwalk would open this segment of the waterfront to the public for walkers and cyclists. It would link with a cycle route across Cobden Bridge to Riverside Park, and football fans would be able to walk directly from St Deny’s railway, along the route to St Mary’s football stadium.
However Sustrans is up against three other projects bidding for the funding. And only the project with the most public votes will win.
ITV coverage of the People’s Millions started on Monday. Lorraine Kelly will be championing Sustrans` Connect2 on an ITV1 show on Tuesday, 4 December at 11pm. Telephone voting will begin on Friday, 7 December and then all voting concludes at 12 noon on Monday, 10 December.
Online voting has already begun.

Why not tackle the whole of Southampton?
There are many areas where drivers drive with no thought for anyone but themselves.
The use of using mobile phones whilst driving is evident in all areas of Southampton.

If only some of you would put your energy in the above - the kids might not throw petrol bombs and spin around in cars. It would 100% give them a sense of self worth.
