We work with the community and local partners, as well as looking at our own data to come up with priorities that we will have for The Woottons for the next three months:
Tackling rural crime and antisocial behaviour across west Norfolk

Issued: 25 Mar 2026

Status Update

Across the Woottons we’ve seen an increase in antisocial vehicle use and have been working hard to crack down on this. We’ve been increasing patrols around the parks and green spaces, as well as on the cut throughs around the estates, to deter people from riding e-bikes and motorbikes illegally and antisocially. We have seen some success with this, especially during April, and reports have reduced but we would always encourage people to keep reporting any concerns or information to us.
