Current priorities
Off-road motorcycles.
PC Lange has increased visible patrols to tackle antisocial motorbike use, mainly off-road bikes. When riders are stopped, officers take action where offences are identified. Stopping these riders can be difficult, as many fail to stop when required. However, we will continue to take action whenever opportunities arise.
Set: 2026-04-16
Antisocial behaviour - general.
Reports showed issues mainly around the bus stops at Nisa Local. In response, PC Lang increased their visible presence in the area. This has led to a significant reduction in reported incidents, and patrols will continue to help prevent further problems.
Set: 2026-04-16
Illegal fishing.
Incidents are now reported less often due to increased police presence in the area. Work is ongoing to find long-term solutions and reduce the issue permanently.
