Parcel thefts have been on the rise, especially in the run up to the Holiday seasons. Thieves often target unattended packages left in communal areas or on doorsteps.

•Increasing patrols in known hotspot areas.

•Engaging with delivery companies to promote secure delivery practices.

•Advising residents to request parcels be delivered to secure locations or collected in person when possible.

If you notice suspicious activity or are a victim of parcel theft, please report it promptly. Your information helps us take action and prevent further incidents.

Begging is a sensitive issue that can impact how safe residents feel in our community. While some individuals may be genuinely in need, others engage in anti-social behaviour or exploit the goodwill of others.

•Partnering with outreach services to provide support for those in genuine need.

•Ensuring that aggressive or intimidating behaviour is addressed promptly.

•Encouraging residents to donate to local charities instead of giving money directly to individuals on the street.

By working together, we can offer meaningful support to vulnerable individuals while maintaining a safe environment for everyone.

Protecting women and girls from violence is a top priority. Everyone has the right to feel safe, whether at home, work, or out in the community.

•Providing visible patrols in areas where women have reported feeling unsafe.
•Educating the community about identifying and reporting harassment or abuse.
•Partnering with local organisations to offer support to survivors and raise awareness.

We also encourage anyone who experiences or witnesses harassment, abuse, or violence to report it. Your voice is vital in helping us tackle these crimes –https://www.police.uk/pu/notices/streetsafe/street-safe/
