Street drinking and Anti-social behaviour on the estate of Netherfield

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.

Work with the Licencing team to address businesses irresponsibly supplying alcohol to those causing ASB.

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 on repeat offenders and robustly dealing with them.

The Neighbourhood Policing Team is carrying out targeted high-visibility patrols in the area at key times when reports of anti-social behaviour are most prevalent. Officers are engaging with local residents, gathering information and identifying those responsible for causing nuisance and disorder.

We have carried out targeted days of action to disrupt and deter those involved. In August we carried out days of action and robustly dealt with suspects and MKCC have supported us by clearing up the area and fixing street lighting.

Our goal is to make these areas safer and more welcoming for everyone in the community.

In September we have seen an decrease in reports to the area and less nominals are hanging around in the area. Patrols will continue through the coming months to address local anti-social behaviour.

Drug Use / Drug Dealing along the redway which runs along the H6 CHILDS WAY from OLDBROOK/ FISHERMEAD/ SPRINGFIELD

We are increasing high-visibility patrols along the redway running adjacent to H6 Childs Way between Oldbrook, Fishermead and Springfield to provide reassurance to the community and deter criminal activity. Officers will be engaging with residents, businesses and users of the redway to better understand local concerns and gather information about drug-related activity.

We will be taking proactive action to address reports of drug use and drug dealing utilising Stop and Search powers. We will be working with partner agencies and specialist teams to identify those responsible and reduce the impact on the local community. This includes fixing street lighting and addressing overgrown areas with MKC to reduce secluded areas in which drugs can be used.

Information provided by the public will be used to help direct patrols and enforcement activity to the areas causing the greatest concern.

Our plan is to reduce drug use and drug dealing along the redway, improve community confidence, and ensure the route is a safer place for residents, workers and visitors to use and enjoy.
