YOU SAID.
We have received concerns from retailers and Security at the Beaumont Leys Shopping centre that there is still a significant problem with Anti-social Behaviour caused by youths

The Beat Team, alongside the newly formed Safer Streets Team, conducted a high-visibility patrol of the Beaumont Leys shopping centre. Officers engaged positively with a number of local youths and store staff, reinforcing community relationships and promoting a safe and welcoming environment.

In support of ongoing youth engagement, the Beaumont Leys Partnership has launched a summer programme offering safe and enjoyable activities for young people throughout the holiday period. This initiative aims to provide positive alternatives and reduce the risk of anti-social behaviour (ASB).

Additionally, a multi-agency meeting was held with major stakeholders to address current issues affecting the area. Discussions focused on improving the reporting and response to crime and ASB, with a shared commitment to collaborative problem-solving and long-term community safety.

Residents are concerned over an increase in Antisocial Behaviour, residential Burglaries, and theft from Motor vehicles in the Area of Heathley Park.

High-Visibility Patrols & Crime Monitoring – Beaumont Leys

The Beat Team has continued to carry out regular high-visibility patrols across the area. These proactive efforts are aimed at maintaining community reassurance and deterring criminal activity.

To date, no suspicious activity has been identified during these patrols. A review of reported crime since 1st July shows only one recorded incident — a parcel theft from a doorstep. This low level of reported crime is a positive indicator of the current policing presence and community engagement.
