Current priorities
Anti-social behaviour (ASB) Swiftly responding to incidents of ASB and effectively using policing powers available to intervene - including powers of dispersal where the actions of individuals or groups impact their wider surroundings; which can lead to wider harm, including the misuse of public spaces or buildings, criminal damage or vandalism, for example graffiti or damage to public buildings.
•Neighbourhood Policing Team ( NPT ) are taking action against ASB in the form of nuisance noise, such as noisy cars or motorbikes in both the South and North Harbour area. The whole of the 'Crumbles' car park is now monitored by private Automatic Number Plate Reading ( ANPR ) cameras which will stop the noisy vehicles congregating when the shops are shut. •Officers continue working alongside youth officers, partners and youth organisations, including schools and colleges to identify opportunities for early intervention with individuals at risk of causing ASB in the area.
Set: 2026-07-01
Anti-social driving (e.g. speeding, nuisance or noisy vehicles, cycles or e-scooters on the pavement) Responding to, and taking action to deter and identify those involved in ASB driving, including incidents of excess speeding and vehicle related nuisance in communities.
• Neighbourhood Policing Team ( NPT ) are conducting high visibility patrols in the area, with officers actively engaging with those causing a nuisance. •Section 59 warnings for ASB driving have been issued to a number of vehicle owners spoken to by police in the last few months. Also the two custom cycles that had been modified and where riding at excess speed around the whole harbour were located and dealt with, July 2026.
