We have increased high‑visibility patrols and engaged directly with members of the community. This proactive presence, combined with our partnership work, has led to a noticeable reduction in calls linked to antisocial behaviour.

Since 1 January 2026, we have received only three reports of nuisance youth, which is reassuring and suggests that targeted patrols are having a positive impact.

On several days, your Neighbourhood Policing Team carried out targeted patrols focusing on e‑scooters and e‑bikes. Where these vehicles were found being used illegally, they were seized. Officers have also been engaging with riders and the wider community, offering advice on safe and lawful use.

As a result of this work, we are pleased to report that there have been no recent calls about e‑scooters or e‑bikes. This is reassuring and shows the positive impact of engagement and visible patrols in the area.
