Gorleston

We work with the community and local partners, while also looking at our own data, to come up with priorities for Gorleston for the next three months. These are currently
Tackling anti-social behaviour - focusing on alcohol/drug concerns and vehicle misuse.

- Proactive and high‑visibility patrols were carried out across Gorleston, with continued focus on OP FOCUS locations and the Gorleston High Street as part of an ongoing Problem Solving Plan. These patrols aimed to deter ASB, identify offenders early, and provide reassurance to the public.
- Engagement and reassurance activity was delivered within the community, including visits to Gorleston Library and attendance at International Women’s Day at the Pavilion Theatre. Positive interactions were also achieved with local schools through regular presence and engagement.
- Youth‑focused work remained a priority. Preventative and educational inputs were delivered at East Norfolk Sixth Form, addressing grooming and sexortion with healthcare students. Further engagement took place through Sea Cadets, a YAB event, and direct contact with youths involved in ASB on the High Street.
- Anti‑social behaviour on the High Street was actively managed through repeat visits and early intervention. A number of ASB warning letters were issued, alongside proportionate use of words of advice to deter further incidents.
- Work to tackle shoplifting and retail crime was supported through attendance at the Norwich BID conference. Best practice learned was reviewed and applied locally to strengthen the approach within the district.
- Partnership working continued throughout the reporting period. CCTV best practice training was completed with TV Gorleston to support effective monitoring and joint working. Joint meetings were also held with police partners to address ongoing concerns at Recreation Football Grounds.

Patrols were completed with the Roads Policing team along Middleton Road, while pavement parking issues near recreational areas were tackled through a local letter drop, resulting in one Traffic Offence Report being issued.
