Anti-social behaviour

Neighbourhood officers attend Residents’ Association meetings and run termly multi-agency drop-ins at the Cricket Club. Resources have been adjusted to ensure more officers are available during peak anti-social behaviour (ASB) times.

Targeted patrols focus on the most affected areas, with increased visibility planned around major events.
