Anti-Social Behaviour in Comet Way and Coronation Road

Issued: 27 Mar 2026

Status Update

We continue to receive sporadic reports of vehicle related ASB in Comet Way and Coronation Road.

Working with The Deanery and Waitrose to reduce reports of ASB.

Work continues with the other neighbourhood teams to tackle this Borough Wide issue. Injunctions have now been issued by Swindon Magistrates Court to persons known to be involved in causing these issues. Will continue to monitor this situation for the foreseeable.

Targeted activity has taken place over several months for the ASB and Neighbourhood disputes in Coronation Road.

Partnership working has proved positive, with a former resident having an Injunction placed upon them and a Closure Order on their address – this has significantly lowered ASB.

Actioned: 27 Mar 2026
