Local Priorities
Youth Nuisance / ASB: Over recent weeks in the Town Centre we have had multiple calls around ASB mainly around the shops with youths causing problems. This has centered around disused buildings in the town centre.
Issued: 13 Apr 2026
Status Update
To tackle this we have been:
- Carrying out high visibility patrols along with colleagues from Durham County Council Neighbourhood Wardens Team and ASB Team
- We have ASB meetings to discuss ASB suspects with our Durham County Council colleagues and housing provider teams.
- Use of Anti-Social Behaviour Contracts (ABC's), Community Protection Warnings (CPW's) and Community Protection Notices on offenders of ASB
- Intelligence gathering
- Working with and supporting victims of ASB
Actioned: 13 Apr 2026
Shoplifting:
Shoplifting isn’t a victimless crime – it impacts local businesses, raises prices for honest customers and can contribute to wider issues of antisocial behaviour. Being visible helps us deter crime and support shop owners directly.
Issued: 23 Dec 2025
Status Update
To tackle this we have been doing the following:
-Carry out high visibility patrols within the Town Centre but also the smaller shops around the housing estates.
-We have monthly shop watch meetings with the shop managers/staff who are involved in the scheme
- We also have a zero tolerance approach with suspects of this crime
- We also work with various partners to assist in the tackle against shoplifters such as our Colleagues in the Castle Dene Centre and Durham County Council in relation to improving CCTV, banning suspects from shops and the Town Centre and assisting in patrols and intelligence gathering
Actioned: 23 Dec 2025
