Local Priorities

Being a predominantly retail environment, we suffer from a high-level of shop theft. Alongside the thefts businesses also suffer with ASB linked to this activity.

Issued: 20 Apr 2026

Status Update

We’re taking a proactive and visible approach to tackling shoplifting in Clifton and Clifton Down  This includes regular high‑visibility patrols in key retail areas, working closely with shop staff and security teams to share real‑time intelligence, and targeting known offenders through partnership operations. We’re also encouraging businesses to report all incidents so we can identify patterns and respond quickly. By combining prevention, partnership, and enforcement, we’re aiming to reduce thefts and create a safer, more confident shopping environment for everyone.

Actioned: 20 Apr 2026

Street homelessness community continue to be a problem within Clifton Down and we are working in close partnership with Bristol City Council’s Streetwise Interventions Services team and other agencies in order to tackle this behaviour and support those in need of support.

Issued: 20 Apr 2026

Status Update

We will continue joint patrols with Bristol City Council’s Streetwise Intervention Services and partner agencies to engage directly with individuals experiencing street homelessness. Officers will focus on early intervention, signposting to support services, and addressing associated anti‑social behaviour, ensuring a balanced approach that prioritises both safeguarding and community confidence.
