Town & Castle

Drug dealing.

Over the last 3 months, the local beat officer has taken a proactive approach to tackling drug dealing in the Town and Castle Ward through targeted patrols, intelligence gathering, and community engagement. Information provided by residents has been developed and shared to support investigations and enforcement activity. The officer has worked closely with Neighbourhood Policing teams and partner agencies to disrupt drug-related activity, address hotspot locations, and safeguard vulnerable individuals. Tackling drug dealing remains a priority, with ongoing patrols and intelligence-led activity continuing across the ward.

Antisocial behaviour - nuisance.

Over the last 3 months, the local beat officer has worked to tackle nuisance antisocial behaviour through high-visibility patrols in identified hotspot areas, responding to reports from residents, and engaging with those involved in disruptive behaviour. The officer has worked closely with partner agencies and local communities to identify recurring issues, provide reassurance, and take appropriate enforcement action where necessary. This ongoing approach has helped address community concerns and reduce the impact of nuisance behaviour across the ward.

Alcohol.

Beat officers have carried out targeted patrols in known hotspot areas to address alcohol-related antisocial behaviour. Officers have engaged with local residents, businesses and individuals involved in street drinking, providing reassurance and gathering intelligence.
