Our PCSOs visited one of our local parks to meet members of the community and offer crime prevention advice. See our upcoming events information below for the next “Police in the park” event. 

Whilst on patrol our officers stopped an individual in New Hope Park where they discovered the individual was in possession of a quantity of drugs, that were seized and safely disposed of. 

We have made a few Streetlink referrals this week, offering support to some of our homeless community. 

Streetlink is an online portal that anyone can make a referral to. The streetwatch teams will attempt to engage with individuals and offer them support away from rough sleeping. For more information please use the link below

We have removed an untaxed vehicle in a dangerous condition from the streets of our local community as seen on X. If you see an untaxed vehicle abandoned you can report to the DVLA or you could use the Fix My Street app. 

You can use the DVLA online form below to report untaxed vehicles

We have conducted numerous patrols this week, around the area. 

We have responded to a call from a member of the public who found a large knife in the street, this was safely recovered, removed and disposed of. Another knife off the streets!
