Current priorities
Anti-social Driving
Proactive patrols will continue, with continued work within the community to identify and target individuals responsible for anti-social driving in the area. We remain committed to tackling this issue head-on. Drivers who put others at risk will continue to be dealt with robustly. We’re also working closely with Community Speed Watch to address concerns around speeding and to help keep our roads safe.
Set: 2026-06-12
Anti-social Behaviour
Patrols are being stepped up in key areas where anti-social behaviour has been reported. This targeted approach ensures we’re addressing issues promptly, reinforcing our commitment to community safety and visible policing.
