  • Contact is to be made with local residents to establish what problems they are experiencing.
  • Information about how to contact the Safer Neighbourhood Team is to be left with local residents, along with crime prevention information. If local residents so wish, their contact details to be included on the ‘Virtual Pact’ database.
  • Opportunities for value added interventions to include introduction to Apollo, Hermes and Digital Inclusion. – Perhaps a community event such as a coffee morning could be used for this.
  • Patrols are to be made from the early evening onwards including high visibility foot patrol.
  • All Police Officers and Police Staff within Rotherham are to be made aware of the on going problems of anti social and rowdy behaviour and will be asked to make patrols in the area where possible.
  • All partners such as housing champions, Rotherham Borough Anti Social Behaviour officers, Youth Services etc will also be made aware of the on going problems and will be included in any problem solving initiatives.
  • Local Neighbourhood Watch Coordinators will also be tasked to keep watch and to feedback any information which may assist to prevent any further anti social behaviour.
  • If persons are found to be causing anti social or rowdy behaviour then positive action will be taken. For example, enforcement options such as Fixed Penalty Notices and Acceptable Behaviour Contracts will be used when appropriate.
  • Where appropriate people will be sign posted to local activities in the area as an intervention to provide them with alternatives to causing anti social behaviour. Also, when appropriate youths will also be taken home and dealt with in front of their parents/carers.
  • To prevent any further anti social behaviour we will revisit any reports already made to South Yorkshire Police and partner agencies about anti social behaviour in this area to make sure that we have followed all available lines of enquiry to identify offenders/prevent them from causing further problems.
