Traffic Calming was then conducted on Mill Hill in Stathern and Colston Lane in Harby using the high visibility of the police vehicle as a deterrent whilst using the time to complete checks on the speeding vehicles above. Advice letters have been sent to those travelling 35mph and above On the 4th and 18th December PCSO Gray and PCSO Tailby was part of a local road traffic operation for Melton and Rutland and supported Rutland Police with speed monitoring in Essendine and Clipsham on the 4th December whilst a Melton neighbourhood officer covered Melton stopping 11 vehicles driving in thick fog without headlights on and giving suitable advice.

As well as supporting the beat, there is a requirement for PCSO's to cover the Front Office in Melton and Rutland providing a vital service to the whole of the Melton Borough and Rutland policing area which PCSO Gray has spent a considerable time doing throughout November and December limiting the time spent on the beat. |
