Dealing with the anti-social behaviour involving the illegal use of e-scooters and off-road bikes across the ward.
Issued: 1 Apr 2026
Status Update
We Did: We continue to target antisocial behaviour connected to e-scooters. We have supported extensive patrols across West Leicester this month to deter the use of e-scooters and e-bikes both for anti-social behaviour and wider, more serious crime. We maintain our focus on messaging to raise awareness of the law around e-scooters.

Targeting those on the ward who commit anti-social behaviour, particularly where this is connected to drinking or drug use in public. This includes in open spaces such as The Rally, Glenfield Road East and Hinckley Road near the junction with Kirby Road.
Issued: 1 Apr 2026
Status Update
In May we have worked hard to patrol our parks and open spaces, particularly during the beginning and end of the school days. We have proactively engaged with an unauthorised encampment on the Fosse Recreation Ground, which was has now cleared. We have worked with partners to clear an address on Bolton road which was attracting squatters and anti-social behaviour. This has been re-secured and shouldn’t attract any further issues. Work around The Rally and Glenfield Road East in conjunction with Leicester City Council remains ongoing.
