Anti-Social Behaviour

Issued: 1 May 2026

Status Update

Your neighbourhood officers are committed to tackling anti-social behaviour (ASB) through engagement, collaborative working and problem solving. Everybody has the right to feel safe in their community, and we’ll take robust action against those acting disorderly and those who have an adverse impact on the wellbeing of our towns.

We will be conducting more foot patrols around the hot spot areas where ASB is happening. We will also be working with other agencies such as youth clubs to organise events so that youths can have more opportunities to have somewhere to go.

Actioned: 1 May 2026

Drugs & Related Issues

Officers will continue to conduct both plain clothes and high visibility patrols across the ward to target anti-social behaviour and drug use.
