Dear Residents, In April, we set three local priorities – Burglary, Road safety and road traffic offences, and drug dealing and drug misuse. These were based on what local people told us concerned them most in their neighbourhood, as well as local crime statistics and information from our partners (such as the local council). These priorities have been the focus of much of our work and below is an update about some of the work we have been doing to tackle them over the last three months.
