Current priorities

Tackling anti-social behaviour, in particular suspicious motorcycles, escooters, drugs and groups of youths.

Local officers are adopting a problem-solving approach to vulnerable locations and working in collaboration with a range of partners to get to the root of problem and solve them for the long-term.

Tackling anti-social behaviour, in particular incidents of criminal damage

Local officers are adopting a problem-solving approach to vulnerable locations and working in collaboration with a range of partners to get to the root of problem and solve them for the long-term. This will include a visible presence at appropriate times.

Set: 2025-09-01

Neighbourhood disputes and reports of nuisance motorcycles and E-Scooters.

Local officers are using problem solving policing to resolve incidents between neighbours which will bring long term resolutions. Officers are also working with partners to combat the illegal use of motorbikes and E- scooters.

Set: 2026-03-04

Anti-social behaviour (ASB), especially with e-scooters and e-bikes in the park

Off road bikes, e-scooters and e-bikes still remain a priority in this area. We've conducted several operations and will continue to do so with the lead up to summer. Media campaigns have encouraged communities to tell us who is responsible so we can take positive action.

Set: 2026-06-08
