Current priorities
We work with the community and local partners, as well as looking at our own data to come up with priorities that we will have for King’s Lynn for the next three months: Tackling antisocial behaviour across west Norfolk
Across King’s Lynn we have been continuing to tackle antisocial behaviour – particularly when it comes to illegally modified e-bikes. A number have been seized across the area including in the town centre and in Fairstead. We’ve been visiting schools to provide learning assemblies and class-based inputs on topics from drugs to road safety. These often also include antisocial behaviour and what the law is around this. A number of Community Protection Warnings have been issued. We've done regular patrols - especially on foot and on bikes - around South and West Lynn. We even use the ferry from time to time! These patrols are great for meeting local people and finding out about what they want us to focus on.

We have been continuing to tackle anti-social behaviour and crime across South & West Lynn. We have increased patrols in South Lynn after several high profile arrests earlier in the spring.
