Priority:
Anti-social behaviour was voted for as priority in a recent community survey, the Denham and Gerrards Cross neighbourhood team will continue to take steps to prevent and respond to anti-social behaviour. Anti-social behaviour includes issues such as drugs, littering, noise disturbances and youth anti-social behaviour.
Action taken:
The neighbourhood policing team continue to tackle anti-social behaviour.
Pony & trap racing continues to be an issue of considerable concern in Chalfont St Peter and Gerrards Cross. After considerable work with our partners at Buckinghamshire Council a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) is now in place on the relevant sections of the A413 and A40. This order prohibits the behaviour in question and provides the police with additional enforcement capabilities.
We have also been working with local farmers, specialist Roads Policing motorcyclists and colleagues at Hertfordshire Police to address the anti-social use of vehicles on open spaces and farm land around the Chalfonts, Denham and Iver. An operation utilising our off-road police motorcycles was held in recent weeks, was very well received locally and will likely be run again in the near future.
In recent weeks we have also provided the initial response to vehicular anti-social behaviour at the motorway services at junction 2 of the M40. This has involved both cars and motorcycles and we are pleased to report that positive action has been taken against a number of individuals. At a recent car-meet one driver was stopped and issued with a warning under S59 Police Reform Act and another was reported for a number plate offence. On a separate occasion and following calls about a group of motorcycle riders performing wheelies and wheel-spins, a group of ten were stopped nearby. Five of these riders were reported for number plate offences. We would like to reassure the community that we will respond robustly to this behaviour wherever possible.
