Local priorities

Local priorities

Local priorities set for the period of 1st April 2012 to 30th April 2012

Local priorities for most areas are decided every month at police meetings. Due to the very small number of residential properties in Warrington Town Centre in comparison to businesses, the policing priorities rarely change. If you do live in Warrington Town Centre, you can attend police surgeries to make your local officers aware of any new priorities. Unless alternative issues are raised by local residents or business, the priorities will remain:

  • Alcohol-related crime - Tackling alcohol related crime and disorder in Warrington town centre between 9pm and 6am, particularly on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, is a priority.
  • Anti-social behaviour - Tackling anti-social behaviour in Bank Park and the town centre 10am and 8pm, specifically those engaged in alcohol related anti-social behaviour, disorderly behaviour and begging.
  • Retail crime affecting business in the town centre - Tackling retail crime in Warrington Town Centre, specifically shoplifting and thefts from person in Golden Square and Cockhedge Centre areas throughout the day, particularly 12pm to 3pm.

You Said, We Did

  • From 01/03/2012 to 31/03/2012 - Alcohol-related crime

    You said: To tackle alcohol-related crime in Warrington Town Centre

    We did: The Town Centre along with Partnership, Council and Licencees are looking at ways of kick starting an evening economy for family/ diverse groups to make use of the Town Centre throughout the whole day and evening. The Town Centre Pubwatch have been successful in securing several Pub Watch Bans as alcohol-related crime will not be tolerated in the Town. The Partnership Unit have reported on issues affecting Bank Park/ Palmyra Square etc and funding has been secured from the Council for better lighting and removal of shrubbery that obscures views making these areas better lit and open for the safety of everyone using the Town.
