Today Monday 23rd of February an officer visited the Ratcliffe on Soar power station to discuss the issues around the site and surrounding communities, including car cruising which since the introduction of the red route on the A453 junction has reduced dramatically showing how a partner agency approach can design out crime and solve some of our problems which in turn allows resources to concentrate on other priorities such as thefts from site and trespass which continues while the site is decommissioned. Contractors , Uniper and security staff are still on site which due to its nature is a dangerous environment for anyone who is not authorised to be there and is unaware of the site specific hazards.
