The local beat team continue to patrol the Radford Road area between Gregory Boulevard and Bentinck Road. We are working together with other agencies and continue to tackle traffic and parking issues as well as environmental issues. This is currently the local priority for the Arboretum Ward.

We would like to take this opportunity to remind visitors of the Forest Recreation Ground and Arboretum that the areas are within a designate no drinking zone. We encourage residents and visitors to enjoy the parks but drinking alcohol in this area is forbidden. Street drinking continues to be tackled by the beat team and alcohol confiscations and positive action will be taken for anyone drinking in the designated area.
