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, working with partner agencies and specialist teams to identify those responsible and reduce the impact on the local community.

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.
