Current Priorities

Issue

There is an issue with drug dealers operating on Coventry Road and persons using drugs along the Coventry Road and local parks near to the location. We are seeing a rise in anti social behaviour around this location

Action

We are working with partners from Birmingham City Council and Statutory Organisations to tackle anti-social behaviour, including drug use around shops on the Coventry Road. We are engaging with street workers in a support first approach

Issue

There is an issue with vehicles parking illegally around Bordesley Green

Action

We are working with Birmingham City Council Parking Enforcement to identify key locations that suffer the worst inconsiderate parking. We know that the majority of vehicles are owned locally, so we are using a mixture of education and enforcement, to persuade residents to be more considerate.

Issue

Issues identified with vehicles speeding across the area and a rise in the fatal four offences

Action

Multi agency operations to tackle the fatal four (speeding, drink/drug driving, using a mobile phone, not wearing seatbelt).
Sometimes you will see us on our own with a handheld speed device to catch speeding drivers. Other times you will see us parked up with partners from DVSA, West Midlands Fire Service, Taxi Licensing, VOSA and many more, providing education to drivers and removing vehicles form the road that shouldn’t be there.
We are also introducing community speedwatch, to help focus attention on the dangers of speeding.
