Neighbourhood Watch
Please be vigilant and report any suspicious incident/persons/vehicles without delay.
If offenders are nearby call 999
- Facebook: If in doubt report what you are concerned about to the Police, not just Pattishall Community Facebook page! The police don’t monitor Facebook pages.
- Police Beat Bus: The bus goes around to local villages in South Northants every 3 months. The bus stays for an hour in Pattishall Parish car park on a Wednesday. The next visit will be 26th February (in the morning) and the PCSO will be happy to listen to any issues or concerns.
If you cannot attend at that time you can visit the Beat Bus in another village at other dates and times.
If you have joined Neighbourhood Watch on the alert system or on our email loop you will be advised when the Beat Bus is coming to our village.
- Immediate Justice programme: This is a pilot project which provides an alternative to prosecution for people who have committed lower-level offences such as criminal damage, causing a public nuisance or being drunk and disorderly.
Police officers and PCSOs can refer offenders to the programme, which has recently began accepting referrals of young people, aged 12-18.
You can join Pattishall Parish Neighbourhood Watch Scheme on the alert system and sign up to receive emails on:

School Parking
We are receiving a number of reports raising concerns about parking around schools.
The Highways Team at West Northamptomshire Council have a resource for schools called Road Safety Heros, a fun and exciting package where primary school children can get themselves involved in promoting road safety to the wider community.
You can also find advice about parking outside schools on our website at:
Most parking or waiting fines are now enforced as a civil matter, rather than a police matter. Enforced by Civil Enforcement Officers who work as a contractor to West Northamptonshire Council.
However, any solution needs to be long term and sustainable. If any school would like further information about the Road Safety Heros, please reply to this message.
