Drug use and its associated anti-social behaviour have seen a rise in our ward, and the negative impact that this has on communities has been reflected in conversations held with community members. Regular patrols will take place targeting hotspot locations and utilising stop and search powers. The team will also build a greater intelligence picture regarding drug supply on our ward, to enable pro-active enforcement measures.

Homelessness has increased on the ward and with it related crime. Ward team will be working alongside Street Population agencies and charities related to this activity

Creating a safe environment for women and girls on our ward is a priority for the team. Whether is is working with partnership agencies to ensure streets and public places are well lit at night, or pressing for more late shifts, we want our ward to be safe for women and girls.
