We work with the community and local partners, while also looking at our own data, to come up with priorities for North Walsham for the next three months. These are currently: Tackle Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) including vehicle related ASB within the town.

We will tackle vehicle-related anti-social behaviour (ASB) around the A149 and North Walsham town centre. To address this issue, we will increase proactive patrols in the area, take action against offences, utilise Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) powers, and issue Section 59 warnings where appropriate. We will tackle ASB within our towns, including underage drinking and incidents of people climbing onto roofs. We will continue to gather information from our community and partners to identify and target problem locations. Male teenager arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm in a public place, after officers were called to an incident on Bluebell Road, North Walsham on 29th June 2026.
