High visibility patrols will continue on the High Street by PCSO's and/or PC's.

We will continue to deal with anti-social behaviour within our communities and use our policing powers to prevent anti-social behaviour which causes a negative impact on the community. This may include using our anti-social behaviour orders/notices and working with partner agencies such as the local council.

Antisocial behaviour is defined as:

Personal antisocial behaviour is when a person targets a specific individual or group.

Nuisance antisocial behaviour is when a person causes trouble, annoyance or suffering to a community.

Environmental antisocial behaviour is when a person’s actions affect the wider environment, such as public spaces or buildings.

It has been reported that vehicles are going through red lights, using mobile phones and being involved in anti-social driving via loud exhausts etc in areas such as the High Street. Therefore we will continue to enforce traffic offences, including drug and drink driving ensuring our roads are safe for everyone.

We will continue stop and searches and enforcement in relation to drug use in hotspots including Staple High Street, Mangotsfield and Siston Common.
