Extra patrols have been completed around the areas with an increased amount of reports with the aim to both detect and deter the anti-social behaviour. Throughout March, the team completed 47 patrols in total.
To manage the issue of youth anti-social behaviour the team have also completed school patrols around Ash Hill, Hamilton, High Crest, Kingwood, High Worth and RGS, during that time the team have also issued tickets to vehicles parked obstructively during school pick up and drop off. In addition, the warmer weather has called for the team to start speaking to young people about water safety, they have held school talks for year 5 and 6 students.
While out on patrols the team have also been working to identify nitrous oxide users and those subsequently littering the cans. This is an ongoing issue for the whole of Wycombe, we require that people report it when they see it to assist us in taking action. In the meantime the team have worked with Totteridge community centre to install a new nitrous oxide Amnesty bin on the community centre premises, this provides a safe place for people to discard the canisters.
To tackle the issue of obstructive parking, the team have worked closely with the council. They have joined parking enforcement officers to carry out joint operations, ticketing untaxed and obstructively parked vehicles. More dates for these days of action are in the process of being planned.
