Nuisance vehicles.

Officers have conducted regular patrols and engagement activity across the ward to address concerns relating to nuisance vehicles and antisocial use of the road network. Patrols have focused on identified hotspots, providing opportunities to engage with road users, gather intelligence and take positive action where necessary. This proactive approach has helped deter offending, improve community confidence and reduce the impact of nuisance vehicles on local residents.
