Glastonbury Town centre is still experiencing a troubling amount of Anti social behaviour in the town centre, mainly revolving around St johns church and the market place involving a small minority of persistent persons.

Increased Police Presence

• Officers have significantly increased patrols in the town centre to provide reassurance and deter offenders

• Hotspot patrols are being used to target areas with the most frequent incidents, especially around St John's Church and the High Street

• Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) letters: Formal warnings issued to individuals involved in disruptive behaviour.
• Community Protection Warnings (CPWs) and Community Protection Notices (CPNs): These can impose conditions on individuals to stop specific behaviours.
• Dispersal Notices: Used to remove individuals from the area for up to 48 hours.
• Targeted arrests: Especially of repeat or prolific offenders.These actions are part of a broader effort to restore safety and public confidence in Glastonbury’s town centre.

Increased positivity in the High Street and Church Yard areas, attributed to enhanced patrols by the beat team and supporting directorates.
A recent robbery on the town outskirts led to an offender being charged and remanded.
Glastonbury Extravaganza: The event went smoothly, with no policing issues arising.
after reports of ASB and drug-related activity in St John’s Churchyard and the High Street we have conducted stop checks on individuals where grounds existed.
we are providing visible reassurance to the public, business owners by visiting the shops in person, and tourists in response to ongoing ASB.
