Current priorities
Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Concerns
Increased Patrols: Officers will conduct regular high-visibility patrols and offer community reassurance. We will be liaising with our partner agencies to adopt a joint approach for tackling the ongoing ASB.
Set: 2026-05-23
Speeding and Parking Concerns
Increased Patrols: Officers continue to conduct regular high-visibility patrols in key areas where speeding has been reported. We will be liaising with the Community Speedwatch Team to conduct speed-checks around the NPT area. Parking concerns will be addressed during patrols and when reports come in. Education & Enforcement: Drivers identified as exceeding speed limits will be provided with education where appropriate, or enforcement action will be taken. Our aim is to reduce speeding, enhance road safety, and respond to community concerns. Updates on our progress will be shared via our social media channels and local community meetings.
Set: 2026-05-23
