Anyone looking to travel into West Hallam to cause trouble over the
weekend will find themselves accompanied by Police. Officers are
spending time on the local bus service between Ilkeston and West Hallam
with the aim to prevent anti-social behaviour. Patrols have been on
the increase recently after Police received an increasing number of
reports from locals causing trouble in the area of the Station Road
community centre, and on Hallam Way. The trouble makers are believed
to come into the village from Kirk Hallam, and Ilkeston. The scheme
runs between 6pm and Midnight and will see Police not just travelling on
the buses, but al o keeping statistics on how many youths either enter or
leave the village, including the times of the activity.
