Current priorities
Motor vehicle crimes have been highlighted for the area over the last quarter with a number of offences for theft of motor vehicle and theft from motor vehicle. This has understandably caused concern for residents on our Ward.
High visibility patrols and plain clothes Q car operations are taking place across various shifts to produce effective results
Set: 2026-03-25
Tackling ASB which has been present in the ward and mainly involves groups of youths driving mopeds at speed
Mobile patrols both high visibility and plain clothes being conducted across a variety of shifts to remain vigilant and also visible for the community
Set: 2026-03-25
Burglary offences still taking place although the numbers are down still from last year on the ward. We will endeavour to keep it that way with priority patrols in targeted areas. We will continue to visit every Victim of Crime where possible & give reassurance & Crime prevention advice.
Have conducted several different policing planned patrols targeting burglaries which has been very successful in reducing the crime
Set: 2026-03-25
