There have been reports from the residents living nearby reporting issues at the location. The team have been working with Workman security on site to disrupt and deter this ASB activity. The team are carrying out intelligence based patrols and dealing with individuals as and when they come across them at the location.

Actioned 03 July 2025
Shoplifting - The team have identified stores such as Sainsbury's, Boots Pharmacy, Greggs, Asda and Tesco being targeted for shoplifting on the ward. It appears that the shoplifters operate in groups and at times attend on mass to commit shoplifting offences from the stores so that security officers have difficulty in detaining them and recovering store goods. Issued 03 July 2025	Pro-active shoplifting Operations are now in place in order to identify prolific shoplifters attending the ward and committing offences. Once the offenders are identified, the team are doing their best to try and secure Criminal Behaviour Orders to issue to the offenders at court so they are deterred from attending the stores going forward. High Visibility Foot and Mobile patrols remain in place to provide reassurance and to deter shoplifting offences. Actioned 03 July 2025
