Priority 2: Reducing Anti-Social Behaviour and Drug-Related Activity

The Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) continues to address anti-social behaviour (ASB) and drug-related activity across Chatsworth Road, Mowbray Road (Bishops Lodge Hotel), Aylestone Avenue, Cavendish Road and Christchurch Avenue (Rosedene), Chatsworth Road, Tiverton green through a combination of high-visibility patrols, plain-clothes operations and intelligence-led policing.
Officers actively gather information from residents, partner agencies, and patrol activity to identify individuals involved in the use and supply of controlled drugs. This intelligence is used to direct enforcement activity, disrupt criminal behaviour and improve the safety and quality of life of those living and working within the area.
Targeted patrols are regularly conducted in identified hotspot locations to deter offending, increase public confidence, and address concerns raised by the community. Alongside enforcement activity, the SNT continues to adopt a problem-solving and safeguarding approach, recognising that many individuals involved in or affected by substance misuse are vulnerable and require appropriate support.

• Conducted targeted patrols in identified hotspot locations to deter and address ASB and drug-related activity.
• Gathered community intelligence and submitted information to support ongoing investigations and enforcement opportunities.
• Delivered regular street briefings with residents and stakeholders to discuss concerns, share updates and encourage information sharing.
