Local Priority Issues

Priority Action taken

During our last survey people asked us to focus on the following:

Anti-social behaviour including nuisance vehicles and drug use in Overfield Close/Fieldside Close and the surrounding area.

Issued 01 August 2026

• We have been targeting this issue through high-visibility patrols.
• We are working closely with partners and building up intelligence to identify offenders.

Actioned 01 August 2026

During our last survey people asked us to focus on the following:

Anti-social behaviour using vehicles and off road bikes in Welham Green.

Issued 01 August 2026

• This area remains a focus for targeted patrols, increased stop and search activity, and plain-clothes operations. These tactics are aimed at disrupting drug-related activity and associated criminality and we conducted a recent Day of Action focusing on these.
• During the Day of Action, we stop searched a number of known drug dealers in that area who we believed were on their way to pick up drugs. This proactive enforcement disrupted and prevented a number of exchanges happening.

Actioned 01 August 2026

We’re currently consulting the public on the issues they would like to see their local policing teams focusing on as a priority.
