We have received reports of youth ASB across the ward in the last month. Each report of ASB which we have received has been investigated so that those responsible are quickly identified and dealt with appropriately. To achieve this, local officers actively engage with the community, complete house to house enquiries and check both private and council-operated CCTV.
We also work closely with local schools and parents and we issue AS13s and community protection warnings (CPWs) where appropriate.
Recent reports of ASB have resulted in two Dispersal Order being applied to the area, this allowed officers to disrupt and challenge the behaviour of anybody causing alarm and distress, and to prevent further ASB.
Officers have conducted targeted foot and car patrols throughout the ward, and engaged with any youths found to be gathering in groups in an effort to deter further incidents and to provide reassurance to residents.
We will continue to monitor and respond and be highly visible in the area.
