Current priorities
Antisocial Behaviour (ASB)
The Strand – Anti-Social Behaviour and Drug Activity Update We’ve received reports of anti-social behaviour in The Strand area, including incidents of shoplifting and suspected drug activities. In response, the Neighbourhood Policing Team is conducting regular high-visibility patrols, focusing on hot spot areas identified through community reports. We remain committed to tackling this behaviour and working with local partners to ensure the safety and well being of residents and businesses.

Antisocial Driving and Speeding
The Neighbourhood Policing Team is continuing their targeted patrols and working closely with partner agencies, including local councils and road safety teams, to address the issue. This includes speed monitoring, engagement with drivers, and enforcement where necessary. We are committed to improving road safety and reducing dangerous driving behaviours to help keep our roads and communities safe.
