Status Update

Residents previously asked us to focus on the following issues:

Tackling drug related anti-social behaviour in Wymondley, particularly in the car park area on Tower Close
*The Neighbourhood Policing Team have conducted patrols in the area to ensure that any unlawful activity is identified and addressed.

Fly-tipping in Hitchin Rural and in particular in the Offley and Lilley areas
*The team have carried out patrols of the areas and are working with landowners, farmers and businesses with a focus on reducing fly-tipping. This will form part of a wider, ongoing effort to reduce rural crime and see further crime prevention initiatives between police and local communities.
