Damage to buses: 

We are working with the bus companies to reduce the damage to the buses. For a time services stopped in this location but through our work they are now running and the priority for us and the partnership is to maintain this vital service to this community. A working group has been set up and this allows us to expedite and fully investigate these offences, whilst still keeping a focus all year round. We have also set up a package to roll out within the schools across the force area and this will be a priority for the schools in this locality.

Anti-social behaviour.

Group of young people who are congregating in the Homethorpe and Dodthorpe area of Orchard Park. They are intimidating local residents and causing damage. Where criminal offences are identified individuals are actively targeted and dealt with through appropriate means, either through the criminal justices system or restorative practices. This is a multi-agency approach so we are working with the council to combat these issues.
