Current priorities
Road safety and ASB driving
Increased patrols are underway to deal with concerns raised about anti-social driving in the area, and we want to reassure the community that work is actively underway to tackle it. We are working closely with the community to identify those responsible. Where anti-social or dangerous driving is reported, we’re taking firm and appropriate action. In addition, we remain in close partnership with Community Speed Watch to address speeding concerns and keep our roads safe.
Set: 2026-06-11
Rogue Traders / Cold callers
We have increased high-visibility patrols and are actively engaging with the community at local events to raise awareness and offer preventative advice, ensuring residents remain informed and reassured.
