Anti social behaviour across the ward, including youth related ASB and vehicle related ASB.

Issued 01 June 2026

As we approach the summer holidays along with the continued good weather we anticipate a spike in anti-social behaviour across the ward area. Reports indicate that incidents occur throughout the community, with reoccurring issues including large groups congregating in public spaces, vandalism, littering, occasional intimidation and nuisance motor vehicles.

We will be targeting our ASB hot-spot areas with high visibility patrols, targeted action and multi-agency working with our partners including council, housing, local businesses and our ward councillors. Our ongoing efforts focus on prevention, education and partnership working to ensure that ASB is effectively managed and that the area remains a safe and attractive place to live, work and visit.

If you experience ASB in your area then please report this via our non-emergency number 101 or via an online report through the Humberside Police website. These reports help local officers identify trends and allocate resources effectively and to be able to take appropriate and positive action.

Retail Crime Prevention.

Issued 01 June 2026

We acknowledge the impact that repeated thefts and disruptive incidents have on our local retail stores, their staff and the wider community. These offences place pressure on businesses, affect staff wellbeing and can influence how unsafe people feel when shopping.

To address this, we are further strengthening our work with retailers to help prevent crime and improve safety. We will maintain regular contact with stores, providing crime prevention advice and support staff with reporting and responding to incidents. By building strong relationships and sharing information with retail stores and security teams we can better identify repeat offenders and focus patrols where they are most needed. Through this partnership approach we aim to reduce crime, support our retailers and create safer more confident communities.

With recent legislation changes we have adapted our approach to targeting our most prolific shop theft offenders and have recently issued a criminal behaviour order (C.B.O) to one particular individual who was targeting stores on our ward area. We will be actively pursuing our highest harm retail offenders and progressing more C.B.O applications. This, coupled with the continued regular engagement we have already within our stores will hopefully reduce shop theft and increase confidence.
