Inspector Matt Snow states that the rowdy and inconsiderate ASB on the whole of Southern Sector, which includes Stanground, Park Farm, Woodston, Fletton and Hampton, has resulted in a 28.9% reduction compared to last year. This reduction has been achieved through targeted patrols of ASB hotspot areas use of disperal orders and Designated Public Place Orders, partnership working with the Council's ASB team, and Operation Staysafe amoungst others. The Stanground PCSO's worked with local teenagers last year to raise money for anew skate park, which gives the youngsters somewhere to go and has been a great success. Orton PCSO's worked with the Orton Gate Shopping Centre Management Team on a project funded by the Royal Society of arts, which reduced the ASB at the location to virtually zero.



The above demonstrates the work that has been carried out by the Police, the Communities and Partner Agencies throughout the year. It has been difficult at times but the results speak for themselves; we entre the new financial year with an even more difficult task of maintaining the current trends and improving upon them.
