Priority:
Antisocial behaviour - nuisance.
Action taken:
There has been one report of antisocial behaviour in the area during the past 3 months. However, local officers are aware of ongoing concerns regarding off-road motorcycles being ridden on roads and through public spaces. In response, officers have carried out proactive patrols, resulting in several bikes being seized, Section 59 warnings being issued and enforcement action being taken against those involved. A Section 59 warning is a legal warning issued when a vehicle is used in an antisocial manner, and further offending can result in the vehicle being seized.
Residents are encouraged to continue reporting all forms of antisocial behaviour, as this helps officers identify problem areas and focus patrols where they are needed most. To receive updates and stay in direct contact with your local neighbourhood officer, please join My Community Voice (MCV).
