Current priorities
Drugs
Through a tailored balance between enforcement and engagement, we’re tackling the supply of illegal drugs in your area. The team will proactively patrol hotspot areas, providing a visible deterrent against offending. Officers will continue to conduct both plain clothes and high visibility patrols across the ward to target anti-social behaviour and drug use.
Set: 2025-09-27
Anti-social behaviour
Your neighbourhood officers are committed to tackling anti-social behaviour (ASB) through engagement, collaborative working and problem solving. Everybody has the right to feel safe in their community, and we’ll take robust action against those acting disorderly and those who have an adverse impact on the wellbeing of our towns. The team will proactively patrol hotspot areas, providing a visible deterrent with partners.
Set: 2025-10-09
