Oxford North

The community has previously raised concerns about cyclists running red lights and ebikes as part of a city wide concern

In the past month, we have fixed penalty notices to cyclists and engaged with riders found running red lights. We are not hearing as much about this as we have in recent months, but given the obvious safety issues associated with this, this will remain an area of focus for us for this month

Local youth from nearby schools being a nuisance outside the retail parade in SUMMERTOWN on BANBURY ROAD, OXFORD generally after school. Behaviours include swearing, shouting, theft from nearby retail stores.

Last month we began a program of assemblies in schools to discuss what anti-social behaviour (ASB) was, what it meant and the impact it had on wider society. We have visited a number of schools across the North Oxford area. We have noticed a decline in ASB and have received no further reports accordingly. Given that exams soon end and the summer holidays start, we will keep this open at this time to monitor and keep this from recurring

We have received reports of, and seen a great increase in, moped and motorbike thefts across Oxford, with North Oxford being one of the worst hit areas. The vehicles taken are believed to be being ridden dangerously locally. This is affecting a number of moped/motorbike owners as well as the wider locality

We have recovered a vast number of stolen motorcycles and arrested 5 persons to date, 3 of them twice. We have published our result in social media and the local news. We are currently engaged in an ongoing investigation and have started to see a decline in the incidence of local theft, though there is still work to do. This will remain open and we will post updates accordingly. Not a bad start though!
