Current Priorities

Issue

Continued Anti-social behaviour from youths in the local area, including in the multi use games area. The team continue to carry out patrols, and are working with partners moving forward especially into the Summer months

Action

The team are working with the youths that are causing anti-social behaviour and their families. An anti-social behaviour log is up and running and anti-social behaviour contracts (ABCs) have been issued. A parenting contract has also been put in place, and partnership work with Cheltenham Borough Homes is in place for the ABCs. For the most prolific Youths , they have been issued Injunctions from the Court and reports of breaches are collating and put before the court, in conjunction of working with the families. The issuing of ABC's has seen a reduction in ASB in the Community. Ring Door bell has been a great tool in identifying these Youths and PCSO's have been carrying out House to House enquiries to see if there is any video footage. Community Alerts have been sent to the local community for assistance also. Work continues. The Team would like to thank the Community for their assistance also
