The ward survey identified two locations within the ward where the fear of violence was greater within the local community.

One such location is the area surrounding the junction of Bollo Bridge Road with Strafford Road.

Our response is to adopt hotspot policing tactics over the next 3 months to deter violence, anti-social behaviour and other forms of criminality.

We will use crime/ASB reporting data to target our patrols at peak times.

We will provide an update to the panel of the number, frequency and duration of patrols supported by mapping data.

Priority details to be circulated to ward panel and local community via relevant contacts and communication platforms.
