Actions

14 May 2026

Your neighbourhood policing team is taking a proactive approach to tackle this issue. We have and will be increasing targeted patrols in identified hotspot areas, using stop and search powers where appropriate, and developing intelligence to disrupt those involved.

We are also working with partner agencies to identify and close down addresses linked to drug activity, and to safeguard anyone who may be at risk of exploitation. We encourage members of the public to continue reporting any concerns, as community information plays a key role in helping us take action.
