Current priorities

Issues raised concerning anti-social behaviour in Wildwood and Baswich, especially around Bodmin Avenue and Wildwood park.

Dispersal notices were put in place over the weekend, a mobile police station deployed in the park, and PCSO's put to the area to support and make a positive difference. Talks with schools and parents of those identified as causing the main issues have also been conducted. Our officers will continue targeted patrols over the next three months.

Set: 2025-08-11

We've had reports of nuisance/inconsiderate parking which our PCSO and partners are working to resolve this.

Officers have been deployed to complete Community Contact Records (CCRs) in this area and work with the local community to resolve this issue. We'll also be raising awareness within the community to try and encourage drivers to think about where they are leaving their vehicles.

Set: 2025-10-31

Increase in electric scooters causing issues in Wildwood estate - increase visibility for officers and request support from Road crime team.

Monitor and increase visibility to take positive action.

Set: 2026-02-02
