Reducing Anti-social behaviour in the area.

To reduce all forms of Anti-social behaviour within the area. This includes aggressive behaviour and criminal damage. We have been working with our partners and SOLACE to issue civil injunctions on those who regularly cause issues. In the last six months police have issued an injunction order to help keep a vulnerable person safe . We have also been working hard on reducing Anti –social behaviour, this has included more high visibility patrols especially in the Rope walk area where the toilets have been vandalised and Water lane. We will also be looking to work with the youth projects in the area. Further partrols will be conducted and this priority remains ongoing.
