Local Priorities

Anti-social behaviour (ASB)

Swiftly responding to incidents of ASB and effectively using policing powers available to intervene - including powers of dispersal where the actions of individuals or groups impact their wider surroundings; which can lead to wider harm, including the misuse of public spaces or buildings, criminal damage or vandalism, for example graffiti or damage to public buildings.

Issued: 1 Mar 2026

Status Update

•Neighbourhood Youth Officers continue to get into schools to engage with youngsters and identify opportunities for early intervention with individuals at risk of causing ASB at key stages of devolvement to discuss ASB, raising awareness of low level crime and the effects actions can have on communities.

•Additional patrols of open green spaces and parks in the area, with officers activity engaging with youngsters and encouraging them into local groups or sports events in the town as an alternative to causing ASB in the area.

•Engagement events continue as an opportunity for residents to raise concerns and highlight areas of ASB direct to officer, all reports help to assist officers in their patrol locations to ensure together we are providing a police presence in areas which have seen an increase in ASB.

Operation Downsway

Our yearly campaign to address community concerns around road and driving related offences that fall into the fatal 5 driving offences.

Issued: 1 Mar 2026

Status Update

•Extra patrols, educational and enforcement activities across the district focused on targeting excess speed, distracted driving, as well as drink/drug driving.

•A number of police and partner deployments across the town in the last few months to tackle ASB driving, including excess speeding, these have led to a number of positive stops and vehicle seizures, details of which have been added to our Sussex Police website, and posted to our Lewes Police Facebook page.

•Work with Community SpeedWatch Groups (CSW) in the area, working alongside volunteers to record and report on offences of excess speeding. Those recorded by police will be referred to our Sussex Roads Safety Team who will look into either educational or enforcement notifications, or in-person police officer visits as a result.
