Priority:
Road safety.
Action taken:
We have been carrying out regular high-visibility patrols in the area, often using more than one police vehicle at a time. These patrols help to deter offending, improve road safety and provide reassurance to local residents. As a result of this work, officers have issued a number of Section 59 warnings.
A Section 59 warning is a legal warning that police can issue when a vehicle is being used in a way that causes alarm, distress or annoyance to members of the public. The warning is recorded against both the driver and the vehicle. If the same driver or vehicle is involved in further antisocial use within 12 months, police have the power to seize the vehicle. Officers will continue to carry out patrols and take action against those who use vehicles irresponsibly or antisocially.
-
Priority:
Drink/drug driving.
Action taken:
Officers have carried out a number of stop and searches as part of proactive work to tackle drug-related activity in the area. During these searches, two people were found in possession of cannabis. They were issued with conditional cautions, which means the matter was dealt with without going to court, provided they comply with certain conditions set by the police. This approach helps hold offenders accountable while encouraging them to avoid further offending. Officers will continue to carry out targeted patrols and enforcement activity to address drug-related crime and help keep the community safe.
