The new priorities for this period (April to September) are:
•Road safety
•Drug dealing and misuse
•Burglary

Our priorities are set for a six month period and reviewed every three months to ensure we continue to deal with what matters most to local people, taking account of feedback shared in our local priorities survey and local crime data.
