Priority:
Anti-social behaviour
Action taken:
The Neighbourhood Policing Team continues to conduct high-visibility patrols across the area to deter anti-social behaviour and provide reassurance to local residents. We are proactively identifying offenders and working closely with housing providers, anti-social behaviour enforcement officers, and tenancy management teams to address concerns and reduce repeat offending.
We are also relaunching our Police and Communities Together (PACT) meetings, providing regular opportunities for residents and local councillors to engage with the policing team. These meetings help ensure that we are listening to community concerns, gathering valuable local intelligence, and working collaboratively to support ongoing problem-solving and neighbourhood policing priorities.
