Current Priorities

Issue

Anti-social behaviour in the Night Time Economy of Bowness

Action

We remain committed to ensuring that the evening and night time economy area of Bowness is a safe place to live and visit.

Operation Regulate see's dedicated high visibility patrols taking place in Bowness on Friday and Saturday Nights with specific tasking around licensed premises.

On dates through the summer when we expect their to be higher than usual numbers of people in this area we are continuing to operate the Welfare Hub. This provides a safe space for people to seek support, advice or a place of safety through to the early hours of the morning.

This is supplemented further by our dedicated foot patrols for Operation Enhance. These patrols will continue throughout 2025.

We also conduct visits to Licensed Premises to ensure that they are operating safely and within the Law. These visits are usually conducted alongside partners from Westmorland and Furness Council Licensing and Trading Standards Team's.
