Stone Town

Reports of low level ASB and shoplifting in town centre, especially around B&M.

Increase in high visibility patrols in the area and higher targets set for staff to complete contact records to monitor community reassurance.

Engagement events to identify information and intelligence from the community. Enforcement action regarding drug warrants and arrests for exploitation and supply of controlled drugs. Enforcement focussed on the night time economy around drug supply and use. Working with partners including social care & the Borough Council to tackle issues and concerns. Continued work is taking place & the public are encouraged to supply us with information and intelligence to help us tackle the problem.

Some really great work has already taken place with internal and external partners, however we still need to focus on this area for drugs problems

Anti-social behaviour at Westbridge park

Officers will increase high visibility patrols in the area to reduce and deter ASB.

Reports of car meets / car cruising at various locations across Stafford Borough which include Trentham (Monkey Forest Island A34), Tittensor, Meaford, Darlaston and Stone which are causing a danger to road users, pedestrians and those involved due to the high speeds the vehicles are driven at which increases risk of injury or serious harm.

Social media post shared on Stafford Borough Police Facebook page and also Stoke Police Facebook page due to close proximity to the border, to increase awareness around risk as proactive response to the problem. The Social Media post also provides information around a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) in place for the A34 between Trentham and Stafford in relation to historic issues around car meets/cruising in a attempt to manage further issues. This is alongside the issue of 23 Community Protection Warnings (CPW's) to keepers of vehicles from two incidents whereby vehicles have been reported as being involved/engaging in the reported activity
