ASB including nuisance motorbikes – Town wide – Ongoing core priority

We continue to engage with the community and monitor areas subject to ASB. Currently 3 hotspot areas have been identified as Alderson Court, Remembrance Court, Britannia Road as well as town-wide issues with off-road motorbikes.

We will conduct high visibility patrols and liaise with housing and social care. We are supporting local businesses with regular patrols and work with other agencies and children’s homes to support youths and promote positive relationships. Liaison with schools continues. Local officers are working with housing and social services in relation to visiting youths and parents to minimise ASB.

Operation Yellowfin will be carrying out patrols in the areas affected.
