Local Priority Issues

Priority	Action taken
Burglaries and Hanoi Burglaries - (Hanoi Burglaries are when a person/s enter your property and remove the keys to a motor vehicle before then stealing it) Issued 09 August 2026	Regular hi visibility and plain clothes patrols are being carried out in the area of the Willows, Wybers and Great Coates in an attempt to either detect or deter offenders. How you can support us: Please report any suspicious activity via 999 or 101 or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. If you see our officers out on patrol, please stop us for a chat to share what is happening in your street. Actioned 09 November 2026
Anti Social Behaviour Issued 04 August 2026	Tackling anti-social behaviour (ASB) and the disruption it causes to residents is a top priority for the Willows, Wybers, and Great Coates areas. We understand the impact that groups gathering in communal spaces has on your peace of mind, and we are committed to ensuring our estates remain safe and welcoming environments for everyone. While we are seeing a persisting downtrend in ASB and crime, we are not complacent. We are taking direct action to maintain this momentum: Targeted Enforcement: You will see an increase in high-visibility patrols specifically targeting hotspots within the Freshney Ward. To date, we have successfully executed four Misuse of Drugs Act (MDA) warrants to disrupt local criminal activity. Stronger Partnerships: We continue to hold monthly multi-agency meetings and "Ward Walks" with Lincolnshire Housing Partnership (LHP). These sessions allow us to identify and address specific addresses and residents of concern, ensuring that those causing harm face consequences while the vulnerable receive support. Proactive Engagement: Our team is actively conducting "Humber Talking" surveys in hotspot areas to listen to your concerns. We are also prioritising youth engagement within the community, including home visits where appropriate, to deter ASB before it escalates. Your information is the foundation of our work. Every report helps us build the intelligence needed to execute warrants and patrol effectively. How you can support us: Please report anti-social behaviour or suspicious activity via 101 or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. If you see our officers out on patrol or during a Ward Walk, please stop us for a chat to share what is happening in your street. Actioned 04 November 2026
