Current priorities

Anti-social behaviour in the area of Victoria Park.

This is a brand new priority for the summer. Come back next month for an update on what action we have taken.

Set: 2026-07-01

Identifying the most vulnerable members of our communities and ensuring they are signposted to the right support.

This is a brand new priority for July. Come back next month for an update on some of the work completed.

Set: 2026-07-01

Theft and shoplifting, particularly on Queens Road.

Our Safer Streets team have been working with retailers to increase confidence in reporting crime and ensuring that they are supporting investigations by submitting their CCTV footage. This has resulted in more suspects being identified and dealt with. During May and June, 23 shop thefts were reported on Queens Road and so far we have charged people in relation to 14 of them - with more positive results still to come!
