Antisocial behaviour - general. Issued 20 July 2026 |
Reports of antisocial behaviour increased during the summer holiday period, which is often linked to more young people spending time outdoors. In response, officers have carried out high-visibility patrols in hotspot locations to provide reassurance to residents, deter antisocial behaviour and engage with young people where appropriate. Officers will continue to monitor concerns and work with local communities to help keep the area safe and reduce the impact of antisocial behaviour. Actioned 30 September 2026 |

E-scooters/E-bikes. Issued 20 July 2026 |
Officers have carried out house-to-house enquiries in the area following reports of nuisance motorcycles being ridden on local playing fields. These enquiries helped officers gather information from residents and identify any potential witnesses. While no suspects have been identified so far, enquiries remain ongoing and targeted patrols continue when operationally possible to deter antisocial behaviour and reassure the community. Actioned 30 September 2026 |

Road safety issues. Issued 20 July 2026 |
Officers continue to carry out proactive road safety patrols across the area in response to concerns raised by residents.
