Subject: Ward Priorities – Next 3 Months Dear All, Following the recent Ward Panel discussions, the agreed priorities for the next three months are outlined below.

As a result: Regular patrols will be conducted in Treahearn Road, Thurlow Gardens, Davis Way, and surrounding areas.Officers and PCSOs will carry out proactive patrols targeting individuals involved in ASB and drug-related activity.Additional street briefings will be arranged within hotspot locations to provide reassurance, engage with residents and gather intelligence regarding ongoing concerns.We will continue to work with partner agencies to tackle persistent issues and improve the quality of life for local residents.3.
