Crimes and priorities

Priority:
Action taken:
-
Priority:
reports of youths causing ASB in abandoned farm buildings on Chillbridge Lane.
Action taken:
Increased patrols in this area have been ongoing. A small number of youths have been located around the area and their details were obtained. Parents/guardians also informed. Patrols will continue. Landowners have also been further updated and images of damage shared to highlight the concerns that the public have. It does appear that the site has been made more secure. Since our patrols, we have seen a decrease in calls to this location.
Going into the summer, we will be continuing to patrol the area and if needed we can utilise plain clothes operations. -
Priority:
Reports of youths climbing the building and accessing the compound of the sports pavilion. There is a potential for injuries and damage to be caused.
Action taken:
Increased regular patrols by our neighbourhood team. We will be patrolling the area and establishing any pattern of times and dates when incidents occur. We will engage with members of public to build our intelligence around this. We will stop and obtain details of any person believed to be involved. We are working closely with Eynsham Parish Council to solve this problem. The parish council are looking into options to make the area more secure and to prevent people from being able to climb the building.
