The Neighbourhood team are aware of community concerns about ASB in this area. This consists of vehicles being used in an anti-social manner in the area such as speeding, riding on pavements and excessive engine noise. From enquiries and Police action, multiple motorcycles/Mopeds have been located discarded in this area, having been driven by offenders in an anti-social manner. Some of these vehicles were identified as stolen.

The team have commenced work to deal with this issue and will ensure patrols are increased as well as targeted Police operations and action.

The community have highlighted at recent 'Have Your Say' events that ASB on Cowley Road is a community concern. The majority of reports suggest that vehicle related ASB was the biggest issue and gave examples of engine noise (from revving) and vehicles driving erratically and as such, dangerously.

The team have listened to these concerns and are planning joint work with partner agencies such as environmental health teams and traffic departments.
