Update 27/01/2026
There has been some concerns raised by residents in relation to how much water will be held by the sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS). To re-assure residents there is a pumping mechanism in place which triggers when water reaches a certain level. There is signage to state deep water.

Shop Theft

West Carr has one of the busiest area for shopping primarily due to have a large shopping center on the ward. Unfortunately this can attract a level of crime to the area primarily shop theft. Due to an increase of this offence we now have a dedicated officer working from Bransholme Police Station who will take ownership and work with local shops to deter and detect these crime.

01/07/2026
As much as this has been recognized as a problem for the area your local community teams have already been working on this issue and will continue to work on this problem. Already numerous prolific shoplifters have been recognized and been dealt with for several offences. We have also successfully applied to the courts for criminal behaviour orders (CBO's) for numerous of these offenders. We continue to prepare further CBO's for others offenders/suspects and will take positive action when the evidence allows.
