Officers have identified key times of the day and evenings in which extra visibility will be provided by the Neighbourhood Policing teams in the retail area, to give a reassuring presence, prevent crime and disorder and promote community safety.
The team will target hot spots for theft, anti-social behaviour and those responsible, whilst continuing to encourage people to respect the Public Spaces Protection Order and taking positive action when they do not.
