Local Priorities
Glastonbury Town Centre continues to experience periodic issues of anti‑social behaviour (ASB), particularly in and around the High Street, Market Place, St Dunstan’s Car Park, and the Abbey gateway areas. With spring approaching - and increased footfall expected due to warmer weather and tourism - there is a need for early, proactive intervention to prevent escalation.
To reduce ASB‑related incidents in Glastonbury Town Centre through targeted, visible, and collaborative activity between Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) officers and Haven officers, ensuring the town centre remains a safe and welcoming environment for residents, businesses, and visitors.
Key Actions
Proactive high‑visibility patrols
- Increase NPT and Haven officer foot patrols in identified hotspot areas, focusing on peak times (after school hours, early evenings, and weekends).
- Early engagement with individuals known for ASB, using preventative conversations and signposting where appropriate.
- Maintain a visible presence to deter alcohol‑related and youth‑related ASB.
Information gathering and early warning
- Conduct weekly ASB hotspot reviews based on intel from:
- local businesses
- CCTV operators
- town council partners
Partnership working and prevention
- Coordinate with Haven, YMCA, and outreach partners to conduct joint patrols focusing on:
- street‑attached individuals
- vulnerable persons at risk of exploitation
- support needs around substance misuse or homelessness
Early‑season preparedness
- Conduct a pre‑spring review (Feb - March) to ensure:
- staffing plans are in place for busier periods
- patrol routes cover key seasonal hotspots
- partnership agencies are briefed and aligned on expectations
Enforcement Where Necessary and proportionate
- Use ASB legislation proportionately, including:
- Community Protection Warnings (CPWs) and Notices (CPNs)
- dispersal powers if required

Status Update
Our beat team has been actively patrolling the High Street, Market Cross and the churchyard, responding positively to reports of anti‑social behaviour (ASB) and engaging with anyone involved.
We continue to work closely with the community, local businesses and the church to build a clearer picture of ASB across Glastonbury and ensure we’re addressing the issues that matter most.
To support this, we’ve increased the number of beat surgeries held around Glastonbury. These sessions give residents the chance to speak with us directly and learn more about how to report ASB or other crimes. Upcoming surgery dates and locations are listed below.
