Public indecency offences.

Issued: 3 Feb 2026

Status Update

Officers are carrying out regular patrols of the lay-by, and a number of Community Protection Warnings have been issued. A Community Protection Warning is a formal notice given when someone’s behaviour is having a negative impact on the local community. It explains what must stop and warns that further action can be taken if the behaviour continues.

We are also working with the council to look at how the road layout could be changed to make it harder for offenders to use the lay‑by.
