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.
