Staffordshire Police have reported between Tuesday 9th & Wednesday 10th January that someone tried to break into a van on Heath Street, Goldenhill trying to pop the sliding door open with a screwdriver. If you have seen anything suspicious or have any CCTV please call Staffordshire Police on 101, private message on Facebook / Twitter quoting serial number SP- 20240109-0182 or crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. There has been a number of reports of children and teenagers kicking doors in the area, which appears to be a craze in Sandyford & Goldenhill. Residents are saying on social media that kicking doors is causing in some cases damage to their property, but also it is frightening people, especially the elderly who sometimes live on their own. A reminder to residents that you will have the opportunity at Sandyford & Goldenhill’s Public General Meeting tomorrow evening (Thursday 11th January) 7.30 p.m. to meet the Police Inspector, Police Sergeant and PCSO at Goldenhill Community Centre, High Street, Goldenhill, ST6 5RF. This will be the perfect opportunity for residents to report the antisocial behaviour to the police; so they are more aware of the seriousness of the situation, and for them to advise the best way to help address the ongoing problem. Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association (SAGE) shared concerns with Council Highways in regards to additional double yellow lines being placed in the Sandyford area of Stoke on Trent. The areas publicised for consultation had place names of Tunstall and Goldenhill following the address, which mislead people to believing yellow lines would not be road painted in Sandyford. The locations for double yellow lines are as follows.
The reason the residents association took the issue further was because Council Highways may say the street/road name for reference, but not everyone knows where they are, and for example someone seeing High Street, Tunstall would presume it is where the shops are in the town. Council Highways responded saying, in terms of the mapping on their Traffweb website, they have pointed out to the developer that the proposals for High Street were locating residents searches to one specific area. Following discussions with their development team they have now been able to split the High Street proposals further so that the areas within Tunstall, Sandyford and Goldenhill can be clicked upon. They confirmed this was undertaken and was working for an additional period from 4 December to 18 December. Council Highways have confirmed that should any resident wish to register their concerns against the proposals, they can do so by email to david.follows@stoke.gov.uk quoting reference MB/NM/TRO9/2023 and providing their reasons for objections. Please note! The consultation period has been extended and will close on Wednesday 10th January.
For the next Sandyford & Goldenhill Public Meeting being held on Thursday 11th January, we have agreed the attendance of Jonathan Gullis M.P. First Bus, Councillor Chandra Kanneganti and Police Inspector Hayley Eaton. 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! Staffordshire Police have reported on Friday 29th December on Heath Street, Goldenhill that several vehicles had damage to wing mirrors caused by senseless vandalism. If you have seen anything suspicious or have any CCTV please call Staffordshire Police on 101, private message on Facebook / Twitter quoting serial number SP-20231230-0227 or crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. With the New Year right around the corner, families and friends will soon be celebrating to ring in 2024. New Year’s is the most popular time in the year to meet up with friends and family to see in the new year with their favorite alcoholic beverage in hand. This increase in alcohol consumption considerably heightens the risk of drunk driving accidents. Families and friends want to start off the New Year on a positive note, yet driving to and from your destination on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day can put you and your loved ones at risk. Every year, people die from drunk driving accidents that are 100% preventable. To help ensure that you have a healthy and safe New Year, take a look at these tips below: If you plan on drinking, do not drive – If you want to drink, make sure you have a plan for a car or taxi service to bring you home, or plan to stay over your friend or families’ house for the night. Don’t let friends drive drunk– If you know someone has been drinking, don’t let them drive! Take their keys and help them find a car service home or have them stay put. If you spot a drunk driver on the road, call 999 – By calling the police, you could save many other lives. If you are hosting a party, make sure everyone gets home safe – Take the keys from those who have been drinking, make sure friends have a car service home or let them sleep at your place for the night. Wear your seat belt– Always wear your seatbelt! This simple, yet incredibly effective action could save your life! We hope that you have fun ringing in the New Year, and remember to be responsible. Never drink and drive – by doing so, you are putting the lives of your loved ones and other innocent people on the roads at risk. With the availability of car services and taxis, there is no excuse! By planning your New Year’s and ensuring you have a designated driver or another safe way home, you are starting off your New Year right and can celebrate without worry.
