Coalville Town

You Said – You have said that there are issues surrounding drug dealing and associated ASB in and around Park Road and Forest Road Coalville.

We Will - We have developed a patrol strategy to target and disrupt those causing harm. We will continue to monitor and develop intelligence and will look at enforcement options where able. We will also work with partner agencies to ensure we are working effectively.

We have received numerous reports from the Belvoir Centre and local area relating to general anti social behaviour from young people who are meeting in large numbers at the shopping centre. This is causing issues to local security and also members of the public using the facilities within the centre.

We Will – We have completed a lot of work in relation to this issue, both from a policing view and also working with colleagues in various agencies. As we are approaching our school summer holidays and have seen the weather improve we will continue to monitor this aspect. We are aware of issues surrounding the illegal sale of alcohol and vapes and as such will also look at this.

We have had issues associated with youths purchasing alcohol and vapes at local retailers raised to us. These being underage and illegally sold.

We Will - we have completed a number of test purchase operations which have identified further issues within the area. As a result, we will continue to complete these operations in the coming months. We will work with colleagues in neighbouring beat areas and in Licensing and are committed to making our areas safer in line with our Safer Summer Campaign.
