Neighbourhood Priorities

ASB in Braunton Village, Croyde and other rural locations

Anti-Social Behaviour can have a significant impact a persons quality of life and also be detrimental to local communities. As such, as a neighbourhood policing team, we look to tackle and address ASB quickly and effectively and require support from our local communities in reporting matters to ourselves and assisting enquiries to identify individuals responsible.
We continue to receive reports of ASB in various areas in Braunton and would encourage continued reporting of issues identified by members of the public, so that appropriate patrols can be carried out to deter these concerns.

Issue Date Friday 17th May 2024

Update: 17 May 2024 - Current ASB

We conduct patrols in areas our communities tell us there are issues of anti social behaviour. The exact locations change regularly and we respond and adapt to the changing needs and information. We record when we spend time in areas to be able to assess the reports and situations and work hard to find reslutions to any issues we encounter.
