Current priorities
Antisocial behaviour - nuisance.
In response to concerns about antisocial behaviour, we have increased patrols in the area and assigned dedicated local officers to address issues and provide reassurance. A recent community engagement event was well attended, giving residents the opportunity to discuss their concerns directly with officers and help shape local policing priorities. A further event is planned for later this summer. Officers have also been carrying out regular visits to two addresses linked to reports of disorder and antisocial behaviour. Working closely with housing providers, we are taking steps to address the underlying issues and prevent further offending. This partnership approach is helping to reduce antisocial behaviour and improve the quality of life for local residents.

Antisocial behaviour - general.
My Community Voice (MCV) posters have been distributed across the area to encourage residents to sign up for local policing updates. MCV provides a quick and easy way for residents to report concerns, receive crime prevention advice and stay informed about policing activity in their community. Increasing engagement through MCV helps officers better understand local issues and ensures residents receive timely information about matters affecting their area.

Highways obstructions.
There have been continued reports relating to the same locations. However, enforcement can be challenging due to the road layout and the limitations of current traffic legislation. Officers have spoken with drivers where appropriate and provided advice regarding safe and considerate parking. The situation will continue to be monitored, and further action will be taken where offences are identified.
