ASB General - results from "my views" survey conducted by the local team, via Neighbourhood Link, indicate that this is a priority concern around green spaces. We will complete partnership work and patrols around green spaces to identify and manage anti-social behaviour (to include street drinking nuisance motor bikes and linked offences)

The local beat team has identified that there is a theme regarding anti-social behaviour occurring on and around the local green spaces. These being Cravens Recreational Ground, Tower Park and around the Morton Estate. We are committed to addressing these issues by working alongside the local authority, local residents and community groups/organisations.

We aim to create more enjoyable public spaces through increased patrols and enforcement efforts to deter those committing antisocial behaviour, whilst our collaborative efforts will help implement long-term solutions.

Officers will continue to carry out high visibility patrols in the green spaces of this beat particularly with the warmer weather which will see an increase of users of these green spaces, we will work to identify the perpetrators of ASB and take appropriate positive action, using all powers available to the Police but also those of the Local Authority.

The team continue to work with the Councils Wardens and Leicester City Council to identify effective working strategies to address ASB with a focus on deterrence and prevention.

We will continue to liaise with local communities and hold beat surgeries to direct our focus.

We have already conducted a join operation with LCC Parks Team which resulted in advice provision, warnings, and fines. We aim to conduct further operations jointly with partners agencies to advise, warn and then issue fixed penalty notices to those committing anti-social behavior offences.
