Priority:
Drug misuse and anti-social behaviour (ASB).
Action taken:
Our focus over the next three months is to reduce the impact of drug misuse and associated anti-social behaviour on local communities by targeting offenders, supporting vulnerable individuals, and fostering safer public spaces. We will address the harmful effects of drug misuse and anti-social behaviour by identifying and disrupting drug-related activity, supporting those affected by substance abuse, and responding to behaviours that cause distress or harm in public areas. This includes visible policing, intelligence-led operations, and collaboration with health and community services.

Priority:
Anti social use of vehicles
Action taken:
Over the next three months, we’re prioritising action on illegal e-scooter use, nuisance vehicles, and parking issues in our community. This includes tackling vehicles causing obstruction and inconsiderate parking. You’ll see more high-visibility patrols in key locations, targeted checks on disruptive or illegally parked vehicles, and enforcement against those breaking the law. Our aim is to reduce anti-social behaviour, improve road safety, and keep our streets clear and safe for everyone.

Priority:
Anti-social use of vehicles
Action taken:
Over the next three months, the neighbourhood policing team will target illegal parking and the anti-social use of vehicles, which the community has clearly identified as a key concern. Officers will focus on hotspot areas where obstructive parking, inconsiderate driving and nuisance vehicle behaviour are affecting safety and quality of life, using high-visibility patrols, enforcement powers and community intelligence to identify offenders and reduce disruption.
