Frequent cannabis use was reported in parks, public pathways and residential areas, including Victoria Park, Stuart Way, Gilman Crescent, Vansittart Park, Roses Lane, Kingsfield/Galleys Road, Rydings, Wolf Lane and the town centre. Several respondents also raised concerns about suspected drug dealing, particularly in Hanover Way, Dedworth, Ruddlesway and Addington Close, with some describing activity as taking place openly and on a regular basis. Respondents highlighted the impact on the community, particularly where children and families use the same public spaces.
Officers have issued a closure order on a property suspected to be involved in drug supply. This allows officers to enter the premise when they suspect someone is inside that should not be. Officers have issued multiple out of court disposals for drug possession whereby offenders are issued with fines and have to complete drug diversion courses.
