Car Crime Speight
"Residents of the Bridgemere and Roselands area of Eastbourne are being urged to be extra vigilant after a speight of car crime in the area. Crime generally is low in the area, however overnight on 21st October 3 cars have been broken into and satellite navigation systems, Ipod's, and stereo's have been taken from the vehicles. It is important for all valuables to be removed from vehicles when left unattended to remove the temptation of opportunist thieves. Enquiries continue as to who is responsible for the thefts, and anyone with information is urged to contact Sussex Police on 0845 60 70 999.
PC Ed Faulkner, Neighbourhood Constable for the area, said "Bridgemere and Roselands is a safe place to live and work, however there will always be times when thieves try their luck and target any vehicle they see with valuables on display. All residents in all parts of Eastbourne are reminded of the need to remove all valuables from their vehicles overnight, or when left unattended. Crime is low, lets try and keep it that way."
21st May 2009
On the evening of Wednesday 20th May the Roselands and Bridgemere panel met and elected its chair. Chris Moffett was elected by those members present and took the chair during the meeting. A good discussion took place about the issues affecting the area.
The issues were primarily road and parking related. Bridgemere Road, Northbourne Road, and the areas around the schools were highlighted by residents are having a particularly bad impact on residents, and buses trying to get through the area. Additionally road safety was highlighted given the number of children in the area. It was agreed that at a future meeting a representative from East Sussex Highways be invited along, as well as the local Councillors for the area. PC Faulkner said "This was another very productive and positive meeting. I'm very pleased with the issues that are being raised, and the enthusiasm that there is to find solutions to them. The whole Neighbourhood team look forward to working with Chris, and members of the panel, into the future."The next panel meeting is scheduled for 7.30pm on Wednesday 24th June 2009 at the Bridgemere Centre.

Efforts to set up a Neighbourhood Panel for the Roselands and Bridgemere area have moved forward and it is hoped to hold the first meeting in May 2009. Many local residents have come forward saying that they are willing to work alongside the Police to tackle the issues that effect the area, and the first meeting will set the priorities for the area, along with deciding on a chairperson of the group.
PCSO Wendy Turner has been working hard approaching many residents explaining the benefits of the Panel structure. Borough and County Councillors for the area have also been supportive and it is hoped that the Panel will make a real difference to the area.
