Neighbourhood Policing Team for Southville.
Current Priorities
Issue
To engage with those Street Drinking and Begging along East and North Street. To liaise with the Street Intervention Service, submit referrals in a bid to find short and long term solutions to this issue.
Issue
Greater Bedminster Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) is working with other partner agencies in a bid to reduce anti-social behaviour and traffic issues in and around East Street and North Street, Bedminster, Bristol.
Partner agencies include:
- Bristol City Council
- Parking Services
Examples of the types of anti-social behaviour reported to police are:
- people being drunk in public spaces
- loud and erratic shouting
- illegal parking
- using insulting behaviour and being abusive
PC 1892 Olszewski suggests "This anti-social behaviour has a negative effective, not only to local pedestrians and residents but it also attracts other anti-social and illegal activities, which compounds the issues police have to deal with".
Action
Traffic Enforcement activity carried out by NPT – tickets issued and some driver education offered.
More dates planned in the future – responding to requests from local community – when we will be tackling other issues like mopeds on footpaths and parking obstructions.
