Anti-Social Behaviour

Officers from the local Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) are currently conducting high-visibility patrols in areas where anti-social behaviour (ASB) has been reported. These locations include the Lake Grounds, High Street, and Wyndham Way. The purpose of these patrols is not only to deter individuals from engaging in ASB but also to identify those who may benefit from further interventions, including support from partner agencies.

In addition, on 16 June 2025, the North Somerset Neighbourhood Directorate welcomed a significant addition to our policing team. Eight police constables and one sergeant have joined the newly established Neighbourhood Tasking Team. This expansion represents a substantial boost to our NPT capacity. These officers will be undertaking additional high-visibility patrols and addressing the issues that matter most to our communities.

As part of the new initiative, Keeping Town Centres Safe this Summer, the team will focus on reducing street crime, shop theft, and anti-social behaviour in the town centres of Weston and Portishead.
