Anti-social behaviour (ASB)

Issued: 25 Apr 2026

Status Update

The Neighbourhood Policing Team continues to carryout regular patrols, focusing on areas where reports of ASB have been made.
We work closely with partner agencies to tackle this type of behaviour, identify those responsible, and manage persistent offenders and locations. We also continue to carry out intervention work with local schools and youth groups through our dedicated youth officers, to divert any young people who may be involved away from this pattern of behaviour.

Actioned: 25 Apr 2026
