Update on St Albans Central, North and West neighbourhood priorities

Progress is underway to address the latest St Albans Central, North and West

neighbourhood priorities, which were agreed last month, in response to issues raised by local residents.

Neighbourhood Policing Teams (NPTs) work alongside district partners to focus on solving long and short-term neighbourhood issues, such as anti-social behaviour, theft, speeding and drug-related crime.

They set local policing priorities every four months, providing a specific focus on the issues that residents have raised via surveys, alongside an analysis of data.

You said: Tackle crime and anti-social behaviour in the Batchwood ward (Oysterfields, by the hospital and High Oaks)

We did:

Four adults have been issued community resolutions – three for drugs possession and one for criminal damage.

We have issued a teenager with a Community Protection Warning. He has also been interviewed in connection with a public order offence.

We have increased high-visibility and plain clothed patrols at various times.

We continue to work with hospital operations and security management and Hightown Housing association. We will support any evictions for people intent on causing anti-social behaviour.

You said: Tackle Drug Related Crime & ASB in St Peter’s Ward (Primarily Charrington Place, streets around St Albans City Train Station & The City Centre)

We did:

We have increased high-visibility and plain clothed patrols.

We have spoken to three teenagers at Davy House.

We have been working with Hightown Housing Association and British Transport Police (BTP)

We continue to pursue all offenders committing crime and ASB in and around the town centre.

Whilst there will be a focus on the local priorities, officers will continue to respond to daily business as usual, as well as force wide priorities and any emerging issues which require more immediate action.
