Plea for more security in village neighbours feel is 'not so safe after all'

Worried residents in a quiet Nottinghamshire village have spoken of their fears after a motorbike was stolen. Following the theft of his £12,000 motorbike in St Wilfrid's Square, Calverton, Triston Williams claimed the area "may not be so safe after all."

And others have agreed, with shoppers and residents highlighting the lack of security measures in-and-around the area. Triston, 26, was only a few metres away, on a phone call with a friend, when his Ducati Panigale 1199 S, was taken on October 26.

The square itself is a pleasant community area with cafes, a Sainsbury's and Main Street Car Park nearby, but some feel the space could benefit from an upgrade in CCTV and other security measures. The car park and shopping precinct are not owned by Gedling Borough Council, who have stated that any upgrades to the site would need to be made by the site's owners.
