Anti-social use of motor vehicles around the Kingfisher Boulevard area of Lemington.

We have carried out dedicated patrols in the area on a regular basis. The area is now subject to a Public Spaces Protection Order which enforces the anti-social use of motorbikes and motor cars.

We have partnered with Operation Dragoon who target dangerous driving and serious crime related to road safety to conduct work in this area, using a range of evidence gathering and enforcement tactics. Enforcement days are being carried out alongside ongoing partnership work with Council and land owners.

Youths setting fires and associated anti social behaviour in Lemington

We are partnered with Tyne and Wear Fire Service visiting schools to educate on the dangers of setting fires and carrying weapons. Home visits have taken place to those we know cause anti-social behaviour. This area is now also part of Operation Shield - whose aim is to reduce anti-social behaviour and serious violence. As part of this operation, the area is regularly patrolled by police and partners from Newcastle Council at key times of the day.

Anti-social behaviour in West Denton Way and Denton Park Shopping Centre

We have targeted persistent offenders, arresting and convicting the most prolific. We have used dispersal notices for anti-social behaviour, meaning offenders are banned from the area for 48 hours after being found causing ASB within the area.

We work closely with Youth Justice Services, ensuring referrals are made for juvenile offenders.

We have conducted community meetings giving people the chance to speak to us in the community to voice their concerns and also conducted surveys to assess the impact on the community.
