Priority:
Increased ASB at Upton Rocks including retail premises / attempt damage to motor vehicles / causing danger to road users.
Action taken:
During FEBRUARY and MARCH 2026 there was a spike in ASB related incidents which was affecting road users on QUEENSBURY WAY, as well as local ships and public houses off LANARK GARDENS. There has been ongoing work with local HBC around improving the park itself in relation to signage and cutting back some of the trees, which was used as cover by the youths in order to throw objects at passing vehicles. CCTV and officer BWV has been scrutinized which has enabled local Beat Management officer, youth engagement officer and HBC ASB lead to identify and place various youths on the ASB Pathway. Ongoing targeted policing, in plain clothes and uniform, has resulted in a downturn in ASB and other crime in the area recently.
