Current Priorities

Issue

To reduce the number of thefts in and around Loughborough town centre

Action

Cycle register schemes continue and it is pleasing to note that there has been a significant decrease in the number of cycle theft reports.

Working closely with the town centre security wardens, we have seen a decrease in the number of thefts.

We have linked in with a number of stores who have been repeatedly targeted to help reduce the number of thefts they are having. With that a number of arrests and remands have been made as a result.

Issue

Reduce Anti social behaviour reported by residents across the local area in varying formats including car cruise meetings, noisy parties, youths causing issues in the town centre.

Action

Additional officers are currently being deployed as part of Operation Lexical, whereby officers will patrol in and around Loughborough town centre in order to combat reports of anti social behaviour

The safer streets team are deployed into the town center to tackle ASB in the vicinity, they work closely alongside council and retail establishments to tackle this behaviour.

Issue

There are an increasing number of e-bikes and e-scooters being used in the town centre which is causing a potential danger to pedestrians.

Action

Operation Pedalfast is currently ongoing to tackle this issue, officers will be taking robust action against those riding illegal e-scooters.

Our dedicated beat team work closely with the safer streets team to offer information to the public around e-scooters at beat engagements and information stalls.

Our social media channels continue to be updated with the steps we are taking to tackle this issue;.
