'Super lorry' stopped by police A 25.25m (83ft) long so-called superlorry has been blocked from being driven on public roads by police in Lincolnshire.

On 2 December 2009, the Home Secretary published a new programme of measures to help the police work smarter to fight crime, tackle anti-social behaviour and boost public confidence. The policing white paper will make the police more accountable to the public and deliver significant cost savings by working better in partnership, improving efficiency and standardising procurement. Protecting the public: supporting the police to succeed builds on the successful reforms in the 2008 policing green paper that have put the public at the heart of policing through neighbourhood policing, the single confidence target, the policing pledge and the ‘Justice seen, justice done’ …

:D Michael, Lee, and Jamie Muttram have plagued neighbours for ten years with abuse, violence, drugs, indecent assault, intimidation, theft and vandalism.

They have also been linked to battery, criminal damage, threatening a witness or juror, being drunk in public, shoplifting and stealing cars.

The Home Office document will also say officers should patrol the streets alone, rather than in pairs, to make them more accessible to the public. However, chief officers are warning against plans to save £70m by cutting overtime, which they say is vital to "front-line" policing. Meanwhile, the Home Office is expected to accept calls in a report on cutting bureaucracy, by former Police Federation chief Jan Berry, for forces to be given more discretion over the way they deal with less serious crime. …
