North Walsham

We work with the community and local partners, while also looking at our own data, to come up with priorities for North Walsham for the next three months. These are currently:
Tackle Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) including vehicle related ASB within North Walsham

We will tackle vehicle-related anti-social behaviour (ASB) around the A149 and North Walsham town centre. To address this issue, we will increase proactive patrols in the area, take action against offences, utilise Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) powers, and issue Section 59 warnings where appropriate.

We will tackle ASB within our towns, including underage drinking and incidents of people climbing onto roofs.

We will continue to gather information from our community and partners to identify and target problem locations.

Having reviewed the data and listened to community feedback, the policing priority for North Walsham and the surrounding area remains as tackling youth-related antisocial behaviour (ASB), including vehicle-related ASB within the North Walsham area.

Targeted patrols in key areas where ASB has been identified by both the community and parish councils will be conducted.

Partner agencies will be engaged with to address ongoing issues that would benefit from a joined-up approach.

In recent weeks across multiple areas our officers have carried out proactive patrols and community engagement activities.
Additional patrols have taken place in Sheringham and North Walsham, focussed on youth-related anti-social behaviour and criminality.

Officers have also spent time at North Walsham market, speaking with stallholders, customers and members of the public. These conversations help us better understand what matters most to local people, shaping our policing response.
