Current Priorities
Issue
General parking issues and parking issues related school pick-up and drop-off remain a priority.
We will be regularly monitoring the parking issues outside of all schools in the North Taunton area, as well as general parking issues. This will take place especially during the morning and after-school periods.
Action
The schools have now closed for the summer holidays. However poor parking generally will continued to be monitored and action taken if required. We also work with other agencies, like Parking Services for example who can also deal with some offences.
Issue
We will field any calls that we receive reporting the use and supply of drugs including class A.
Within our priority to tackle drug use, another focus is drug driving, which is both illegal and dangerous to the user and other road users.
We would urge people to report any suspicious activity to the neighbourhood team or to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Action
Work to support this priority is continuing.
Issue
Anti-social Behaviour (ASB) can have a devastating impact on individuals as well as our local community, and everyone has the right to feel safe where they live, and we all have apart to play in this.
We always encourage our communities to report persistent Anti Social Behaviour in your areas, either by calling us on 101, using our website to report things online, or by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Our local neighbourhood teams work alongside our constabulary’s specialist anti-social behaviour team, as well as other local authority services and charities, to work with those involved in low level offending. This ranges from warning letters to education and support. We also work with those involved in more persistent offending with higher end interventions, such as Community Protection Notices and Community Behavioural Orders that can include arrestable conditions. High visibility patrols are conducted by our local teams at every opportunity to provide reassurance to both the wider community and also to detect and deter anti-social behaviour in your area.Action
Work to support this priority is continuing.
Issue
We often receive multiple reports of people driving their vehicles anti-socially or riding motorbikes on pavements and green spaces, without the proper safety equipment and correct legal documentation. Some of these reports include multiple riders on the bikes.
Please contact us on 101 or 999 in the event of an emergency if you witness this happening in your area.
Action
Work to support this priority is continuing.
