Increase in ASB occurring in the evenings, at the weekends. Night Time Economy in Cheltenham is a thriving business and the local team are focussed on reducing Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG) out in the Town as well as reducing ASB .
Each weekend ( Fri and Sat) the Neighbourhood Team have a focussed Streetsafe duty that includes High Visibility Foot Patrols, The CCTV Van and other resources, on the Night Time Economy. We work with our partners in the BID which organises a Partnership meeting ( with Guardians, Street Pastors and Security Staff) at the beginning of the shift with the Police, to keep up to date with latest intelligence. The Licensed premises who are in the scheme also are connected by a Radio straight to the Police, so we can respond in a timely manner. OP VILIGANT is an operation that is also run, with the assistance of our Special Constables to focus on VAWG esp within the Night Time Economy. Going into the Summer months, the local team wil be working with other Police departments to monitor and patrol the NTE for the up and coming World Cup matches. Planning continues into the Summer months.
