Current priorities

Following repeated complaints about a licensed premises, we are working with our partners in licensing and the premises' supervisor to resolve these issues for the benefit of everybody.

Monthly meetings are taken place. Pubs have been made aware for the extensions to opening hours for the World Cup 2026.

Set: 2026-01-28

Pending the installation of new CCTV cameras, we are monitoring youth activity within the park and enforcing any anti-social behaviour robustly

CCTV has been installed and the town council have agreed to give police CCTV when requested for any ASB or crime.

Set: 2026-01-28

Due to a number of thefts of motorbikes in Wellington and surrounding areas officers are visiting and giving security advice to bike owners.

Reduce the theft of motorcycles and mopeds across the Wellington area through targeted patrols, proactive offender management, crime prevention initiatives and partnership working with local communities and vehicle owners.
