Priority 1: Drug Use / Supply - We will build on information and act accordingly through directed patrols, targeting vehicles suspected of transporting drugs and working with the Magistrates Court to obtain warrants to search properties. Priority 5: Parking Issues - We would conduct regular patrols of the High Street and A3400 running through Shipston at key times whilst also being able to commit further time to dealing with residential parking issues Priority 4: Vehicle Construction / Use / Speed -We would work to locate and seize any offending vehicles where possible and dedicate more time to speed enforcement in problem areas. Priority 2: Burglary / Theft Patrols - We would provide regular patrols to combat criminals who visit our area for the purpose of committing theft and burglary offences. Special Constables would be utilised to provide increased presence at key times. Priority3: Anti-Social Behaviour (including use of vehicles in an ASB Manner) - We would have greater engagement with young people and their parents with a view to reducing incidents of Anti-Social Behaviour.
