Current Priorities

Issue

Recently there has been an increase of anti-social behaviour in the High Street, Glastonbury.  Police are constantly monitoring the location with the help of Somerset CCTV.  Last week local Officers arrested a male from the High Street who was drunk and abusive, and he also assaulted a police Officer.

St John's Church have begun issuing banning letters for those that are refusing to stop nuisance behaviour within the church and the grounds, a local male and female were issued one recently when they refused to leave during a funeral.

Action

We are aware of ongoing incidents of anti-social behaviour on Glastonbury High Street, particularly around the Market Cross area. In response, we have significantly increased our police presence to provide reassurance and take action against those responsible.
Our officers are using a range of legal powers and enforcement tools to address this behaviour. These include:

Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) letters
Community Protection Warnings (CPW)
Community Protection Notices (CPNs)
Dispersal notices 
Targeted arrests of prolific offenders

These measures are part of our continued commitment to restoring safety and confidence in the town centre.
