A Problem Management Plan has been set up alongside the Leicestershire Anti-Social Behaviour Team. This will enable a multi-agency approach and structure to tackling the problems raised.
The area has been highlighted as a priority for the Charnwood Neighbourhood Policing Area and increased patrols have been implemented across our beat officer and response officer teams. Police have also highlighted to Charnwood Borough Council (CBC) the issues raised around littering and fly-tipping which is being reviewed by CBC and street cleaning to tackle this issue.
Robust action will be taken against those identified in line with our incremental approach for tackling ASB.
Work is on-going with our partners within CBC to ensure that the camera coverage is better in the area.
A multi-agency meeting was held in August to discuss the ongoing issues and how these could be tackled as a partnership with other key agencies. Alongside this, the issue will feature on the Loughborough East Delivery Group which sits monthly. Police continue to patrol the areas at relevant times and will be holding Beat Surgeries to engage with local residents.
