Priorities

Local priorities are identified through a process called PACT (Partners and Communities Together), which enables you to tell us about the issues that are causing concern in your neighbourhood. Once a priority is identified, your local policing team will work with partner organisations and the community to find the best solution.

We are currently working on:

• Priority: EVA OSWESTRY TOWN WEST . YOUTH RELATED - YOUTHS INAPPROPRIATE GATHERING - There has been a number of calls regarding groups of youths, not always from the Castlefields area of Oswestry, gathering in communal areas, causing distress and tension in the community. (28/02/2013)
• Actions:Police patrols to deter offenders and deal with any innapropriate behaviour. Action For: WEST MERCIA POLICE
  
  Weekly patrols with the council housing officer to establish any complaints or issues with residents. Action For: SHROPSHIRE COUNCIL
  
  Activity Log:This priority has continued from the previous one. There has been a decrease in calls about anti-social behaviour in the area, however as the lighter nights arrive residents are concerned that youths will begin hanging around in the area causing a nuisance again. UPDATE - 09/03/2013 - 19:40 hrs Patrol of the Castlefields area, spoke with a number of youths in the area, advised them regarding playing football in the garage area and the group moved on to a more suitable location. UPDATE - 25/03/2013 - Various times - Patrols in Castlefields area during the snow as properties have been targeted during previous periods of snowy weather. No signs of any groups of youths congregating in the area. UPDATE - 28/03/2013 - 10:00 hrs - Joint estate walkabout with Council, no issues noted or raised by residents.

UPDATE - 26/04/2013 - 15:00 hrs - Spoke to two youths that have been allegedly gathering around the sheds and advised them not to gather there.
