While reports of anti-social behaviour involving vehicles have recently decreased, this remains an ongoing issue that we continue to address proactively. We are conducting high-visibility patrols in both marked police vehicles and on foot during the daytime and evening periods, particularly in areas where concerns have previously been reported. Officers are also taking action against any dangerous or anti-social driving that is witnessed, ranging from providing words of advice and education to issuing Section 59 warnings where appropriate. We would encourage members of the public to continue reporting incidents, as this information helps us identify patterns and target our patrols effectively. If you witness anti-social vehicle use, please provide as much detail as possible, including the location, time, vehicle description, and registration number if it is safe to obtain, as this greatly assists us in taking positive action against those responsible.

  We continue to carry out high-visibility patrols in hotspot areas, supported by the information and intelligence provided by our local communities. The information shared with us during foot patrols, community engagement events, and calls for service helps us identify the areas most affected and focus our efforts on tackling anti-social driving.

  Working closely with residents and local businesses, we have been able to target locations where concerns have been raised and take positive action against those whose driving causes nuisance, alarm, or distress to others.

  Where appropriate, officers can issue Section 59 warnings to drivers using vehicles in an anti-social manner. We also engage with drivers to educate them on the impact their behaviour can have on the community, encouraging safer and more responsible driving.

  We appreciate the continued support of our communities in reporting concerns and sharing information with us. Together, we can help ensure our roads and public spaces remain safe and enjoyable for everyone.
