Addressing Anti-Social Behaviour

Dealing with drugs

Issued 23 September 2026

The neighbourhood team will target use and supply of controlled drugs, using a combination of proactive patrols and intelligence-led policing. We will identify hotspots of illegality and where applicable seek warrants from the courts to prevent and deter criminality.

Targeting acquisitive crime

Issued 23 September 2026

Acquisitive crime such as thefts from homes, outbuildings and vehicles can be very impactive to victims, and so we will arrest and prosecute offenders where they are identified, carry out proactive patrols and operations in the area and provide target-hardening and reassurance to local people.
