Current priorities
1) Road safety 2) Anti-social behaviour in known hotspot areas
1) For Road safety we will: Conduct high visibility patrols in known hotspot areas. Continue working with Community Speed Watch where appropriate. Work closely with the community to gather information, feedback and provide updates. Take proactive enforcement action and collaborate with Roads Policing Units where necessary. 2) Anti-social behaviour in known hotspot areas: High-visibility patrols. Work with the community to gather information and assess hotspot areas. Publish positive results to build public confidence and deter repeat behaviour.
