We have had a number of reports regarding anti-social behaviour (ASB) involving youths in the area. This is causing a significant effect on local residents and businesses.

Our aims are to identify those involved, prevent further ASB and take further action where appropriate.

ASB within the area has overall reduced since the end of last year. We are continuing to monitor the situation and urge anyone to continue to report within the area.

Throughout Bristol there are continuous reports of  potential locations for the cultivation, preparation and dealing of Controlled Drugs.

The area of Kingsweston is no different and the Neighbourhood Policing Team work in partnership with other agencies and the community in order to combat and attempt to shut down such premises.

Residents are encouraged to report all incidents to the police through 101 or 999.

Alternatively you can report anonymously through CrimeStoppers on 0800 555 111.

The neighbourhood team has carried out high-visibility patrols in Lawrence Weston to order to put a stop to drug-related incidents.

The beat team are taking a strong approach to illicit tobacco, cigarettes and vapes being sold in local stores, including to underage children. Licensing checks are consistently being targeted within the area and a zero tolerance approach has been implemented.

If you suspect any stores are contributing to this then please report to 101 non emergency or contact the local beat team on your local beat page under contact forms.
