Priority:
Antisocial behaviour - nuisance.
Action taken:
We have carried out targeted patrols in response to concerns about antisocial behaviour in the area. These have included both marked and unmarked vehicle patrols, as well as increased foot patrols to provide a visible police presence, speak with the community and help prevent further incidents.
During these patrols, officers have also spoken with people involved and, where appropriate, offered advice to help change behaviour and stop issues from getting worse. We will continue to monitor the situation and take action where needed.

Priority:
Drug dealing.
Action taken:
We have carried out targeted work to tackle drug dealing and drug use in the area, acting on information provided by the community. This has included a mix of high-visibility and plain clothes patrols, both on foot and in vehicles, to identify and disrupt this activity. Officers have used stop and search powers across the area, leading to several arrests of people linked to drug supply.
We have also gathered further information to support ongoing investigations and continue to work closely with partner organisations to address this issue and keep our communities safe. With support from residents, we are identifying new and emerging hotspot areas and will focus our work where it is most needed.
