Current priorities
Anti-social behaviour - Recently some areas have previously seen a significant rise in anti-social behaviour so to deter this officers will be patrolling hot spot locations and surrounding areas including Portland Street Park, McDonalds, Tesco and Meols Cop retail, car parks. Whilst other areas will also be patrolled, these locations tend to suffer more frequently and will be a focus of our activity.
Increased patrols in the area. Highlighting and targeting repeat offenders. Additional local Officer assigned to the area.
Set: 2026-07-03
