Weekly Update

Dear Resident,

Here’s a quick round-up from myself and the Longbridge Team

Our Priorities

 Anti-social behaviour, shop theft and drugs around the Longbridge retail and South & City College area. Concerns highlighted to local officers and from call data received to WMP with incidents to this locality.

 We are experiencing an increase in robbery offences in Longbridge. Recent offences from Mid-October have been around the Rea Valley Route which runs from Arden Road, Frankley to Longbridge Retail Park.

A number of concerns reported of speeding and poor driving across the Longbridge area, There have also been reports of ASB on car parks around The Great Park.

What’s Been Happening?

High visible presence around Longbridge Retail Park in order to deter anti-social behaviour and shoplifting. 

Continuing with our school patrols to provide reassurance and visibility to parents and pupils. 

Several vehicles were issued parking tickets on Adben Avenue due to reports they were obstructing the pavement and preventing safe access for pedestrians and one vehicle was seized for not having any valid road tax. 

Another vehicle was seized on Wareham Road for not having any valid road tax.
