We are stepping up high-visibility patrols across the Netherfield estate following information received from residents and partners.
Our officers will:
Increase patrols on foot and in marked vehicles.
Identify individuals responsible for anti-social behaviour (ASB) and deal with them robustly.
Enforce the Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO), issuing warning letters to street drinkers. Those who continue to breach the order will be issued with a Fixed Penalty Notice.
Since the beginning of May 2026, 25 individuals have already been dealt with for breaching the PSPO.
Netherfield became a hotspot area in April 2026, and as a result, you will continue to see an increased police presence across the estate.
Our goal is to make Netherfield a safer and more welcoming place for everyone in the community.
If you witness anti-social behaviour or street drinking, please report it to us.
Together, we can keep our community safe.
We have started seeing a decrease in the amount of street drinkers and have been issuing Community Protection Notices (CPN's) on repeat offenders and robustly dealing with them.
