Current priorities
The new priorities for May to August are anti-social vehicle use in and around Blossom Way, as well as in Cattsdell and Hunters Oak, including the Nicky Line footpath linking the two.
Patrols will be conducted and officers will look to issue section 59 warning notices to persistent offenders, who then risk having their vehicles seized.
