Youth anti-social behaviour
You said: Coming into summer holidays, youth anti-social behaviour increases due to being out more often

What we are going to do:
We will patrol the open spaces more frequently and engage with youths out and about. We will investigate reports of anti-social behaviour and enter perpetrators onto the incremental approach, ensuring the most appropriate outcomes are obtained. We will hold engagement events encouraging young people and students to come and see us to offer advice and follow up reports, taking further action when necessary.

Theft of cycles/cycle crime
You Said: Summer months mean more people are utilising their bikes to get around and are concerned of having them stolen.

What we are going to do:
We will regularly hold events, including bike register/marking events, to engage with the community, passing relevant safety advice and tips to secure their property and reduce the risk of becoming a victim of crime. We will also hold specific operations targeting illegal e-bikes and e-scooters in our open spaces, as well as targeting the offenders who we know are stealing or damaging other peoples property.

Anti-Social Behaviour at Castle Gardens and Surrounding Areas
You said: Although the park is a nice place to visit, there is still anti-social behaviour happening there in sight of visitors

What we are going to do:
We will increase our visibility at the location to act as a deterrent, as well as utilising other techniques to identify and bring offenders to justice. We will work alongside agencies to ensure all safety measures available are utilised and implemented appropriately. We will hold engagement events at the park to speak to the visitors face to face to better understand their views and concerns, acting on any information or intelligence when necessary.
