Joint initiatives to address the noise issues have been undertaken with licensing enforcement officers, the highways agency, the DVLA, the council and out road policing unit however these are ongoing. Your local officers have been conducting dedicated patrols in the area during prominent times over the last two months focusing on the areas flagged. Feedback from residents is that these patrols have been successful.

These meetings have flagged up issues that have been dealt with promptly due to constant communication with the local officers. In between meetings officers have been conducting regular walkthroughs of the building as well as visits to residents. Again, these actions are ongoing and will always reflect the needs of the community. Swift and robust action will be taken towards those who are engaging in criminal activity.

In response to the inconsiderate parking around Sheepcote Street in excess of 40 fixed penalties have been issued in the area by your local team, as well as around King Edwards Warf.
