Local Priority Issues

Antisocial behaviour - general. Issued 22 April 2026	Between April and June, there were 10 reports of antisocial behaviour in Northgate, representing a significant decrease compared with previous months. Antisocial behaviour includes actions that cause nuisance, alarm or distress to others, such as disorderly behaviour, vandalism, intimidation or other activities that negatively affect the local community. To address these concerns, local neighbourhood officers have carried out regular high-visibility patrols throughout the area. These patrols aim to deter offending, provide reassurance to residents and respond quickly to issues as they arise. Officers have also been engaging proactively with local residents, businesses and people who regularly use the area to identify emerging concerns, gather information and take appropriate action where necessary. This consistent police presence has helped to disrupt nuisance behaviour, improve community confidence and provide valuable information to support ongoing policing activity. Actioned 30 June 2026
Criminal damage. Issued 22 April 2026	Between April and June, there were 4 reports of criminal damage in the Northgate area.
