Road-related offences and anti-social behaviour.

Issued: 8 Apr 2026

Status Update

From feedback in the community we are aware that both road related offences and ASB are an issue and there has been an increase particularly just before Christmas. To combat this we have set up a Winter of Action Plan which aims at increasing patrols at key times to target offenders and this has included plain clothes officers working in the area. Additionally we have been carrying out speeding operations and drink drive operations in and around the surrounding area.
