Current Priorities

Issue

Anti-social behaviour, shop theft and begging around supermarkets in the Maypole and Kings Heath area. Particularly on the Alcester Road

Action

Addressing these issues and supporting local businesses is a priority for us. We are working closely with local shops to support their security measures including offering crime prevention advice during our increased patrols. We are also talking to the local council and other support agencies who can offer help through food parcel schemes and referrals to supporting agencies. We are also working towards issuing Community Protection Warnings (CPW) as a preventative measure.

Issue

Off road bike and mini-moto use around Wilsford Close, Stapleford Croft, Dawberry Fields Park and Allens Croft

Action

As well as increasing our targeted patrols at locations and times the bikes are being used, we are also working with our specialist colleagues from the off-road bike team. As we gather intelligence and find out where the bikes are being stored, we are carrying out warrants to seize the bike and stop their usage.

Issue

Traffic offences including speeding and dangerous driving across Brandwood

Action

Following community concerns we have carried out both Community Speed Watch and police speeding operations. During these operations we have stopped numerous vehicles and issued road safety and speeding advice. We will continue to carry these out, and we encourage the community to contact us if they are concerned about a particular location.

Issue

Drug dealing and usage across the ward area

Action

Thanks to community intelligence we have carried out a number of drugs warrants in the local area to crack down on drug use and drug dealing. We have increased patrols in the areas we know are affected by this, and we encourage you please keep reporting your concerns to help us with our enforcement action.
