Youth Anti-social Behaviour in the city centre on weekends has been identified for a number of months but we are now seeing an increase in ASB in the evening around Scotch Street and English Street.

Officers are completing regular high-visibility patrols at key times and actively seeking to identify those involved in the ASB. Once identified these individuals will be dealt will appropriately to ensure they do not continue their behaviour. The area is also supported by additional high visibility patrols at key times through Operation Enhance.

This is still on going priority as of the 1st August. Officers are actively looking to identify a core group of individuals and once this has been completed then we will look to take appropriate action.
