Staffordshire Police report that a man has been jailed after assaulting two men and damaging businesses across Stoke-on-Trent. Darren Steele, 52, of no fixed address, was sentenced to 26 weeks behind bars at the North Staffordshire Justice Centre on Friday (5 September). He pleaded guilty to: Three counts of criminal damage to property valued under £5000 Two counts of assault by beating Two counts of being drunk and disorderly in a public place Using threatening / abusive / insulting words / behaviour to cause harassment / alarm / distress Assault by beating of an emergency workerFailure to surrender to police / court bail at the appointed time Failure to comply with a community protection notice Breach of a licensing exclusion order Breach of a criminal behaviour order. On Friday 4 July, we were called to The Moorland Inn, Ford Green Road, Smallthorne, following reports that a man had been assaulted and a hanging basket had been damaged. When Steele was arrested, he further damaged a custody cell. On Saturday 9 August, officers were called to Ford Green Road following reports of Steele acting in a disorderly manner. Steele was found shouting and swearing in the street and when he was approached, he punched a police officer. Sergeant Chris Gifford said: “Steele is a prolific offender, and we do not underestimate the impact his crimes have on local people and businesses. “I hope this sentence shows that we are committed to taking action against those that commit crimes against local people. “Steele has also been handed a criminal behaviour order for three years which prevents him from entering different businesses across Stoke-on-Trent.” #ProblemSolvingPolicing Councillor Chandra Kanneganti & Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association have arranged for the city council to hold a consultation event in regards to the draft local plan, so residents are aware of what is happening in the Goldenhill & Sandyford Ward. The council is holding a number of drop-in sessions across the city where residents can find out more about the Draft Local Plan and the Goldenhill & Sandyford event is arranged for Thursday 9th October, 4.00 p.m. to 7.00 p.m. Goldenhill Community Centre, Drummond Street/High Street, Goldenhill, ST6 5RF. The Draft Local Plan outlines how Stoke-on-Trent will grow and develop between 2020 and 2040 sustainably.

Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association has contacted Stoke on Trent City Council in regards to the state of the fishing pool at Mobberley Road, Goldenhill. Residents have shared their concerns for some time as they believe the pool is not being looked after, especially with it being overgrown with rheads and weeds. The pool which is owned by the council, and is believed to be rented out to a private fishing club, should have some responsibility in maintaining it to a reasonable standard and that is why the council have been contacted. David Williams MP has written to the Leader of the Council, Jane Ashworth, requesting that Stoke-on-Trent City Council holds targeted drop-in sessions in areas like Sandyford. The MP believes that in-person consultations, on the ground and in the community, will help the local authority best understand residents views. David Williams emphasises –“I do not believe development should proceed at any cost. It must be done in the right way – serving the best interests of local residents and contributing positively to the wider community.” He said he hopes that “the final Local Plan will be a real blueprint for success: reviving our town centres, restoring buildings that have been left to rot, and regenerating empty brownfield sites that have blighted our communities for decades.”
The next Sandyford & Goldenhill Public Meeting is being held on Thursday 11th September. We have agreed the attendance of Port Vale F.C. Council Highways, Ward Councillor Chandra Kanneganti & Staffordshire Police. Everyone is welcome to attend on the evening, and you will be able to enjoy free food as well as being entered into our FREE PRIZE DRAW! The public bar is also open where drinks can be purchased. We look forward to seeing you there on the evening! Parents and carers play a crucial role in the development of a child’s road safety knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviour. In this stage of their development as a road user, young people find themselves at greater risk as they start to travel more independently. Issues surrounding peer pressure and risk-taking start to appear which is why it’s important you talk to your child about road safety. No matter how your child plans to travel to school there are a few things to discuss before they start travelling independently. The Staffordshire Safer Roads Partnership has developed a guide for parents and carers to help you prepare your child. To download the leaflet visit: Moving on to High School – Guide for Parents & Carers in Staffordshire & Stoke on Trent Police Officers carrying out warrants have arrested two men on suspicion of drug offences. Following intelligence, officers first searched a property in Brown Edge yesterday (Thursday 28 August). A total of £1,500 was seized from the property. A 54-year-old man, from the Leek area, was arrested a short time later on suspicion of conspiring to supply a class A drug; cocaine. Later, officers searched an associated property in the Chell area of Stoke-on-Trent. A 44-year-old man, of no-fixed-address, was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of cocaine. He has since been released on bail. The 54-year-old man has been released with no further action to be taken. The arrests are the latest in a major and organised crime department’s (MOCD) ongoing focus on disrupting drugs lines in Staffordshire. To date, a total of six people have been convicted in the last eight months, as they have continued to tackle the illegal supply of class A drugs in response to community intelligence and information. Detective Chief Inspector Ian Fitzgerald, of the MOCD team, said: “We are determined to crack down on the supply of these illegal substances in Staffordshire and will do all we can to apprehend those involved.” To report crime in your area, call the police on 101, use Livechat on their website, or call 999 in an emergency. To report anonymously, contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Local residents, including those who ride motorbikes have shared concerns of a road surface on Hollywall Lane, Sandyford where the bend is, which has a long and wide engraved scrape along its surface. Residents commented, it is very dangerous, especially when it unstabilises bikes when turning the corner. The road damage occurred when an oil spillage or white paint spill took place, and the council were responsible for removing it, which they did and taking some of the road surface with it. Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association, along with Councillor Kanneganti first reported this in December 2024, and after pressing for its urgent repair are pleased to announce it will be taking place for 2 days from the 31st August. |
