Local Priority Issues

Priority Action taken

Anti-Social Behaviour

Issued 04 January 2026

We have continued to rigorously monitor our recently obtained closure order in Wadebridge to ensure compliance. Orders like these have a huge impact on the community after significant issues leading to them being obtained in the first place. We take reports of ASB very seriously, and would encourage anyone if they are a victim of personal, environmental, or nuisance ASB to report to us. We work closely with partners to ensure long-term solutions are established.
