Current Priorities

Issue

Concerns were raised by residents about the increase in drug dealing.

Action

Officers have conducted engagement sessions and held drop-ins for the community to understand which specific addresses and individuals are causing the issues. We have been working closely with specialist officers and teams to take positive action against those running the drug dealing, which has subsequently led to arrests and safeguarding of children. The investigation is still ongoing.
