Priority:
Road safety.
Action taken:
The local officer continues to work with local communities to improve road safety and address concerns about speeding. Regular speed checks are carried out at locations identified through local knowledge and reports from residents. Drivers found exceeding the speed limit may face enforcement action, including prosecution, or be offered educational courses that highlight the dangers of speeding and the risks it poses to other road users. This ongoing work forms part of wider efforts to make roads safer for everyone in the area.
-
Priority:
Highway obstructions.
Action taken:
Officers continue to work with local authorities and partner agencies to address reports of highway obstructions and minimise their impact on residents and road users. Community reports help identify problem locations and support action where needed. Residents are encouraged to report highway obstructions to the appropriate authority so that concerns can be assessed, investigated and dealt with by the organisation responsible. Prompt reporting helps ensure issues are addressed as quickly and effectively as possible.

Priority:
Criminal damage.
Action taken:
Reports of criminal damage and related antisocial behaviour are reviewed regularly, with officers working to identify patterns, support those affected and take action where appropriate. Particular attention is given to repeat incidents and cases involving vulnerable people, helping to ensure they receive the support they need. Residents are encouraged to continue reporting incidents of criminal damage, as this information helps officers investigate offences, identify those responsible and work with partner agencies to provide the most appropriate response and support.
