Anti-social use of vehicles (predominantly unregistered off-road bikes) is a major concern for the community. Frequently uninsured and unroadworthy, the illegal use of such vehicles creates a risk of harm to the public and to the rider.

Supported by Housing Agencies and Landlords, Community Protection Warning Notices are in the process of being issued to addresses where unregistered off-road motorbikes are known to be operated from.

Drug dealing within the local community is concerning for residents due to clear medical risks that drugs circulating can cause. There is also concern surrounding the disturbances that can occur when drugs are being used / supplied and the impact that this can have on local residents.

We will continue to target those who deal drugs in our communities. We will do this by listening to community concerns and building our intelligence picture in order to be robust and make positive arrests.

Local shops and businesses facing issues with theft and anti-social behaviour causing financial implications and alarm/distress to staff, customers, and business owners.

We are conducting regular patrols and visits to local shops and businesses to prevent theft offences and anti-social behaviour. Where offences are reported, these are dealt with efficiently and effectively to prevent reoccurring issues. Repeat offenders are dealt with robustly.
