Priority:
Nuisance vehicles (e-scooters and motorbikes).
Action taken:
Officers continue to take robust action against the illegal use of off-road bikes in the area. A number of vehicles have been seized and traffic offence tickets issued where offences have been identified. Community Protection Warnings (CPWs) have also been issued to repeat offenders as a preventative measure to deter further antisocial behaviour.
A CPW is a formal warning used to address behaviour that is having a negative impact on the local community. Where offenders continue to use vehicles unlawfully, further enforcement action may be taken. Seized vehicles linked to illegal or persistent offending may be destroyed. Officers will continue to carry out targeted patrols and take action against those responsible for nuisance vehicle activity.
-
Priority:
Drug dealing.
Action taken:
In response to concerns about suspected drug dealing and related activity, officers have continued to carry out regular high-visibility patrols and targeted enforcement across the area. Officers are also proactively engaging with residents and using stop and search powers where lawful grounds exist. A stop and search is a legal power that allows officers to search people for items linked to criminal activity, including illegal drugs.
These actions help disrupt drug-related offending, deter those involved in criminal activity and provide reassurance to the local community. Officers will continue to carry out intelligence-led patrols, act on information provided by residents and take enforcement action where offences are identified to help keep the area safe.
-
Priority:
Antisocial behaviour.
Action taken:
Regular patrols are being carried out to identify those responsible for antisocial behaviour (ASB) and take appropriate action where necessary. A range of measures have already been used in the area, including Community Protection Warnings (CPWs), Acceptable Behaviour Agreements (ABAs) and Community Protection Notices (CPNs). These interventions are designed to address behaviour at an early stage, support positive change and prevent further incidents.
A CPW is a formal warning issued when behaviour is having a negative impact on the community. An ABA is a voluntary agreement between an individual, their parents or guardians where appropriate, and the police, setting out expected standards of behaviour. A CPN is a legal notice that can be issued when antisocial behaviour continues despite previous interventions. Breaches of these measures may result in further enforcement action.
Officers will continue to patrol identified areas, work with partner agencies and respond to concerns raised by the community to help reduce antisocial behaviour and improve the quality of life for local residents.
