Youth Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Issued 03 August 2026 |
The Neighbourhood Policing Team will continue to identify, prevent and address incidents of youth-related anti-social behaviour that negatively impact local communities. We will work proactively with partner agencies, schools, youth services and local residents to engage with young people, provide early intervention where appropriate, and take proportionate enforcement action against those responsible for persistent or harmful behaviour. Through high-visibility patrols, community engagement and targeted problem-solving, we aim to reduce reports of ASB, improve public confidence and make our neighbourhoods safer places to live, work and visit Actioned 03 November 2026 |

Working alongside partner agencies, we will seek to prevent offending, disrupt criminal activity and provide crime prevention advice to owners. Our aim is to reduce motorcycle-related crime, improve road safety and minimise the impact that anti-social riding has on residents and visitors Actioned 03 November 2026 |
