We are working to reduce anti-social behaviour.
Action taken:
We are taking steps to reduce anti-social behaviour within key location across the district, as we understand how this can seriously affect quality of life.
We are therefore focusing our patrols within known hotspots using the latest intelligence.
This will include a variety of locations, including The Common green area and Thundersley Village.
We will increase our visibility and will work to reduce matters and take enforcement where required. We will include our council partners to prevent issues from escalating and support victims and help resolve problems quickly.
This remains in our priority and is in progress.
