Local Priorities

Local youth from nearby schools being a nuisance outside the retail parade in SUMMERTOWN on BANBURY ROAD, OXFORD generally after school. Behaviours include swearing, shouting, theft from nearby retail stores.

Issued: 7 May 2026

Status Update

Since the return of the schools we have seen a continued decline in behaviours though are aware of youth related anti-social behaviour in the surrounding area. This priority will therefore continue. To date we have begun work to identify those responsible for the ASB, through targeted patrols of the locality, engagement with affected parties and locations and suspects, and engagement with the school. There is due to be a series of assemblies at the nearby school to educate children on what ASB is, its impact and the law. This will remain a priority for us to masure the impact of our plans for the next few weeks.
