Drug dealing.
Issued: 3 Feb 2026
Status Update
We are carrying out regular high‑visibility patrols in the areas where drug problems have been reported. This helps us spot and discourage drug activity.
We are also working with partner organisations, and a closure order has been extended on a home linked to drug use and supply. This means the address cannot reopen, and we are now applying for a full repossession order.
