Current priorities
Street drinking and associated anti-social behaviour along Woodchurch Road has been raised as a key priority, following concerns raised by residents and local businesses. This behaviour has been reported to increase, particularly on football match days, causing disruption and distress within the community. We are also addressing reports of the illegal off-road use of electric bikes, which is contributing to anti-social behaviour, including intimidation and nuisance to residents. Neighbourhood officers will be working closely with partners to carry out targeted patrols, enforcement activity, and engagement to tackle these issues and improve safety in the area. We encourage the community to continue reporting concerns to help us take appropriate action.
The Neighbourhood Policing Team is actively addressing these issues through targeted high-visibility patrols, enforcement using relevant anti-social behaviour and traffic legislation, and joint working with partner agencies. This includes identifying offenders, seizing illegal bikes, and providing reassurance to the community. We remain committed to tackling these concerns and encourage the public to continue reporting incidents, helping us to focus our resources where they are most needed.
