2.Street Drinking
3. Unauthorised vehicle access into the Town centre
Issued 01 July 2026
1.Retail crime remains a key challenge. Officers will conduct plain clothes operations, support ShopWatch, target repeat offenders, and build Criminal Behaviour Orders. Shop security reviews will help identify further prevention opportunities.
2.Officers will work with outreach teams, enforce PSPO conditions, and increase patrols at key times. Intelligence will be gathered from local businesses to support ongoing problem solving.
3.The safer neighbourhood team will work alongside partners in the council and licensing to ensure the pedestrianised area of the Town Centre is not accessible by unauthorised vehicles which present a real danger to pedestrians.
