Drug Dealing and Misuse You told us that drug misuse and drug dealing was of concern.
Our actions to date. Drug Dealing and Misuse We have acted upon community intelligence executing warrants at the targeted addresses where drug dealing is suspected. We continue to link in with local housing providers ACHA and WHHA to support tenancy action. Road Safety We have carried out targeted enforcement activity in the area working closely and sharing information with our specialist Road Policing colleagues to ensure our roads are safe and identified issues are dealt with through a joined up approach. Littering and Fly tipping We have worked closely with the local authority, land owners and bailiffs to prevent and detect those responsible for littering and fly tipping both in the community and areas of natural beauty utilised by wild campers. Antisocial Behaviour We have ensured officers patrol key locations at key times that have been identified through incident analysis and local knowledge working closely with licensed premises to carry out early intervention to prevent disorder and violence.
In the coming months. Drug Dealing and Misuse Be visible and accessible within the community to target drug suppliers and users utilising intelligence led policing to deter and detect offenders whilst linking in with partner agencies to combine education and enforcement strategies.

Support education based programmes highlighting the impact of litter and fly tipping on the community.
