Barnsleys police commander has praised the efforts of staff who took part
in Operation Duxford yesterday, resulting in the seizure of cash and drugs.
Hundreds of people were also spoken to, as officers and partner agencies
engaged with members of the local community, listening to the issues they
are currently facing so that they can be acted on and subsequently dealt
with.
District Commander for the town, Chief Superintendent Scott Green, said: I
hope that seeing and speaking to officers yesterday has reassured people
living in Barnsley that we are committed to tackling the issues that matter
most to you.
If you tell us theres something happening in the area you live thats of
concern, we will listen and act upon it.
Hundreds of staff and officers, alongside colleagues from Barnsley Council,
South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service and the Department of Work and
Pensions, carried out enforcement activity, including eight search warrants,
as well as extensive engagement opportunities as we spoke to residents and
businesses about crime prevention and safety advice.
During the pre-planned warrants almost £3,000 worth of cash was seized and
a quantity of controlled drugs recovered, which resulted in the arrest of a
29-year-old man for possession with intent to supply. A further two arrests
were also made throughout the day.
Other significant results included tickets for fly tipping being issued,
seven speeding tickets, two dogs seized under the Dangerous Dogs Act and 24
vehicles stopped and searched.
As you can see, yesterdays intelligence led activity was varied and Im
proud of what we were able to achieve and Id like to thank staff and
partner agencies for their efforts.
Id also like to thank every single person who stopped to speak to
officers, who said hello and who wanted to find out more about Operation
Duxford and the overall work were doing across the district.
While Operation Duxford enables us to carry out a high-visibility day of
action with the assistance of partners, its important to note that this
work, tackling the issues most prevalent in our community, is ongoing every
single day.
Our priority is making Barnsley a safe and enjoyable place to live, work
and visit and so as always, Id ask anyone with concerns to speak to their
local Neighbourhood Policing Team, or get in touch with us via 101.

- wathupondearne Latest news in Yorkshire: Published March 23, 2019 08:47:49 AM A report which has agreed to allocate £250,000 from the Berneslai Homes surplus to support work on an affordable warmth programme for private sector housing over the next three years has been approved. Launching in March, at least 106 households will benefit from the overall programme, giving an average spend per property of £2,358. External funding of around £575,000 is also expected to be brought in, allowing hundreds more households to benefit. All energy efficiency works will be delivered through the existing Better Homes Barnsley framework and the new Warm Homes and Hospital Discharge team will help to assess need and eligibility for these schemes. The Barnsley energy tariff, the local energy supply offer provided by Great North Energy, will also be available to the residents who benefit from this programme, offering further potential for them to save money and be able to heat their homes to a comfortable level. The programme will be fully evaluated so that further funding can be secured to make it sustainable in the long-term. It will rely on referrals from health professionals and front-line council workers, although residents can self-refer. Councillor Roy Miller, Cabinet Spokesperson for Place, said: “There are currently around 11,500 households in fuel poverty in Barnsley and we also have above average rates of excess winter deaths. “This funding will allow the council to take a more holistic approach to tackling cold homes by joining up with other services to provide heating systems and insulation to the most vulnerable residents living in private sector housing.” Paul Hayes, Chair of Berneslai Homes Board, added: “Last year the Berneslai Homes Board agreed to spend some of its company surplus to support projects aimed at economic regeneration and the health and wellbeing of people in Barnsley. This is the first of those projects aimed at reducing fuel poverty. “We want all residents in Barnsley to have a home that is warm and safe to live in.” This news is linked to Town Spirit. We want to work better together. If everyone in Barnsley does just one thing, together we can make our borough a more welcoming place where people want to live, work and visit.
