We have arrested a number of youths for offences associated with disorderly behaviour. We would ask parents to discuss with their children what is and is not an acceptable standard of behaviour when they are out with friends and how alcohol can blur the lines. Many youngsters we have dealt with don't find it so funny when they wake in a cell, have their parents called out and end up in trouble for behaviour they would not consider when sober.

We have held a meeting with a representative from the fire brigade, local Housing officer, neighbourhood wardens and local residents to address this issue and discuss possible solutions.
This month has so far seen a decrease in such reported incidents.
Our Solution
In consultation with the public, combined with Police and Fire Service - it can be seen that the provision of new fencing on The Willows, the increased patrols and the residents preventative measures of chaining Wheelie bins together, has resulted in a vast reduction of calls to the Police and Fire service.
This great reduction (only 1 report in May and no reports at all in June) has meant that all parties present at the Priorities meeting on Tuesday 29/06/2010 believe that we can now focus attention on a new local issue. - Drug Misuse and Supply - Warsop area Show details

It has been decided that anti-social behaviour in the Clumber Street/High Street and Carr Lane areas is to remain one of the Warsop Birklands Beat Priorities.
Of course Op Animism is ongoing and will continue to pay attention to the area, and groups of kids congregating continue to be moved away from the area.
The consultation process for the proposed dispersal order for the area is now well under way, and we will keep keep you informed of progress.
October 2010 Update
Although the anti-social behaviour issues and incidents reported to the police continue, September and October appears to have seen quite a reduction, particularly in the area of Clumber Street. Of course our increased patrols continue and the beat team have now held a meeting with many of the most affected residents and different council members to discuss a possible way forward towards solving this ongoing issue. As a result of this meeting we are now in the consultation process towards a proposed dispersal order for the affected areas.
September 2010 update

Of course joint patrols with the neighbourhood wardens continue in an attempt to deter some of the local juveniles from congregating in this area.
August 2010 update
Unfortunately the last two weeks in july has seen a slight increase in the number of incidents of anti-social behaviour reported in this area. This may relate to the fact that the school summer hoidays are now upon us. For this reason the Safer Neighbourhood Team intend to pay extra attention to this area, and are appealling for information about alcohol being supplied to underage teenagers. This will be done through a 'letter drop' along Clumber Street asking for information and through working closely with the local off licences.
Operation Animism is still ongoing, and the Clumber Street area is one of the areas that this operation will regularly target in the hope of preventing/reducing incidents of anti-social behaviour.

The 1st event was very successful and enjoyable for the local children involved and the team look forward to the next two events which will be on the 5th and 12th of August. Such events have been organised in an attempt to divert local childrens attention away from 'hanging' about on the streets and towards more productive activities!
July 2010 Update
It has been decided in consultation with the public at the priorities meeting 29/06/2010 that this issue should still remain a very high priority. However it was felt that the area should be extended to include Watson Street and Welbeck Street, and that the issue was no longer prominent on the Warsop High Street.
Operation Animism is still ongoing, and the Clumber Street area is one of the areas that this operation will regulrly target in the hope of preventing/reducing incidents of anti-social behaviour.

On a number of occasions individuals who have appeared to be particularly intoxicated have been returned home to Parents.

Operation Animism is ongoing and still paying attention to this area as one of the anti-social behaviour 'hotspots'.
Groups of teenagers have regularly been moved on from this area, where it has been deemed the group could be found intimidating to members of the public or local residents.

Decided in consultation with local residents and through use of questionnaires
Motorcycles / mini motos / quad bikes being ridden on roads/lanes and other areas that public have access causing a danger to both themselves and other pedestrians and road users. This also causes a great nuisance to the local residents.
Our Response
September 2010 update
Four section 59 warning notices have been issued to individuals found to be riding illegally in this area.
A further four individuals have been verbally advised about riding in this area and moved on, having been given the advice that if they are seen again then they too will recieve section 59 warning notices.

July 2010 Update
It has been decided in consultation with the public at the local priority meeting 29/06/2010 that this priority should remain until our next meeting.
The Beat Team are continuing high visibility patrols in the area, including joint patrols with the neighbourhood wardens.
Further Warning notices have been issued to individuals throughout June, warning them that if they are found riding on public land again within the next 12 months the bike/quad they are using will be seized.
A number of off road motorbikes/quads that have previously recieved warning notices have been seized by the Police in the Warsop area in June.
It has been noted that the signs placed to inform the public of the consequences of unauthorised riding of off road bikes/quads have mysteriously gone missing! However these will be replaced by the Safer Neighbourhood team in July!
The beat team and neighbourhood wardens will conduct high visibility patrols in this area to deter possible offenders.
Any individuals identified will receive a section 59 warning notice that states the bike/quad will be seized if they are found committing the same offence again within the next 12 months. If the identified offender has already received a warning then the bike/quad will be seized.
Any individual identified using a quad/off road bike on a public road will be prosecuted for the relevant driving offences.
A number of Police officers will hopefully soon be fully trained in using off road motocycles which we hope to be able to utilise to tackle this priority.
May 2010 update
The safer neighbourhood team has increased high visibility patrols in this area, including joint patrols with the neighbourhood wardens.
A number of individuals have been issued with section 59 warning notices in this area, warning them that if they are found to be riding on public land again within the next 12 months their bike/quad will be confiscated by the Police.

Our Solution
It has been decided by way of consultation with local community representatives at the local priorities meeting that motorcycle nuisance was no longer a community priority. Though off road motorcycles continue to be a nuisance and we continue to appeal for any information to assist in identifying the perpetrators, other issues concern the local community to a greater degree. - Underage drinking of alcohol Show details
