Current priorities

The local neighbourhood team aim to tackle youth related anti-social behaviour (ASB) on the Wilstock and Stockmoor estate. We are continuing to patrol the areas and will use our ASB powers to deal with any reports.

Set: 2026-07-10

The local neighbourhood team are working with the communities to offer crime prevention advice and to conduct targeted patrols to give local residence some reassurance. We would strongly encourage everybody to secure and mark their property where possible, for our farming community we recommend fitting trackers to high value machinery as standard practice. Please contact your local beat team for further advice.
