https://www.cumbria.police.uk/Allerdale Police recently conducted a community survey for the Workington area and surrounding villages and wish to thank those who took the time to complete this.
One of the main issues raised was youth related anti-social behaviour in the Seaton area. Please be reassured that your local officers are aware of this issue and have been proactively patrolling the area over the last couple of weeks and will continue to do so. A number of youths have already been identified as a result.
Our local officers will continue to address these issues over the coming weeks, conducting hi visibility patrols in the specific areas, engaging with the local community and taking steps to identify any person contributing to this issue.
Please continue to report any incidents of crime or anti-social behaviour.
