We understand that the vast majority of young people enjoy their holidays responsibly. However, where anti-social behaviour occurs, we will respond robustly. Our officers will be working alongside the Neighbourhood Support Team, housing providers, Plymouth Community Connections and other local partners to identify issues early, prevent escalation and take positive action where necessary. Our aim is to ensure that everyone can enjoy a safe and peaceful summer. We encourage residents to continue reporting incidents of anti-social behaviour, as the information you provide helps us identify hotspots, direct patrols and take appropriate enforcement action where required. Together with our partners and the local community, we are committed to keeping our neighbourhoods safe throughout the summer holidays.
