Reduce youth-related anti-social behaviour in Cricketfield Lane and Hadham Road, Bishop’s Stortford.
• Neighbourhood officers met with staff at the community club to discuss the issues and encourage reporting.

• Regular traffic operations have been carried out on Harlow Road and surrounding areas tackling speeding, mobile phone use while driving and cross-border criminality.
