Local priorities set for the period of 1st May 2013
to 31st May 2013
Lache
Anti-social behaviour - Anti-social behaviour
is still continuing to cause members of the public problems in and
around Lache. PCSO Mckevitt will be patrolling the hotspots around
St Marks Road and Chester Street Saltney where we are still
experiencing calls.
Curzon Park and Westminister Park
Anti-social behaviour - To continue to
focus high visible patrols around the Chester Street, Shrewsbury
Way and Hope Street areas to try and prevent a reoccurrence of
youth anti social behaviour in the area. The neighbourhood Policing
team will continue to pay close attention to the area to try and
ensure that anti social behaviour incidents don’t start increasing
again. As has happened before those youths found to be misbehaving
will be dealt with and if the youths continue to misbehave further
actions will be taken.
Alcohol-related anti-social behaviour -
Residents have expressed concern that vagrants have been drinking
alcohol around the Dingle and under the Grosvenor Bridge. PCSO Fox
will attempt to visit the area as regularly as possible over the
next month. If vagrants are found drinking in the area they will be
spoken to and their names taken. The vagrants will be advised that
they need to behave in an appropriate manner and discard their
litter in bins. If they don’t comply with the requests further
action will be taken and fines given out if it can be proved that
any individual has littered in the location.
