Current Priorities

Issue

Motorbike anti-social behaviour around Fawdon and Kenton

Action

Launched Operation Capio, with dedicated Home Office funding used to staff dedicated enforcement days during which officers have identified prolific nuisance riders and seized their vehicles. The team frequently analyse reported incidents to track down and target offenders and work with partners to make problem areas inaccessible for bikes.

Issue

Anti-social behaviour around Blakelaw

Action

As a result of increased reports, dispersal orders are being used to disrupt activity in the area. Extensive partnership work is also taking place with main offenders and their parents to come up with long term solution to the issue. The neighbourhood officers are also working with other partners such as the EPIC Project to provide activities for young people in the area.

Issue

Retail crime

Action

Problem solving (POP plan) activity is taking place with these premises. Offenders are being targeted by the neighbourhood team, civil/criminal orders being used to try and reduce offending long term.
