Ongoing issue with cross-border drug supply and associated child exploitation.

Intelligence has been used to obtain and execute a number of warrants at various addresses and has led to the arrest and charge of serious offenders as well as drugs and money being recovered.

Specialist officers are working with partners including Social Care, Schools and Housing to protect families and children exposed and at risk of associated criminality.

This is ongoing and we are working within the community to disrupt the supply of drugs and safeguard vulnerable juveniles exploited by Organised Crime Gangs.

Anti-social behaviour (ASB) and criminal damage, specifically in and around Clough Hall Park.

We have increased the number of high visibility patrols by dedicated local officers and PCSO's in the area and a meeting has been held with partners in the council to discuss locations of CCTV camera's and the potential to move existing cameras to offer further coverage.

ASB legislation such as Community Protection Warnings/Notices and Community Behaviour Orders will be used where repeat offenders are identified.
