About us

Local policing teams are groups of officers dedicated to serving the community. Teams are made up of officers based in the area, supported by additional officers from the wider area.

Teams work closely with local authorities, organisations, partners and residents to decide policing priorities. This helps teams find long-term solutions to local problems.

Policing priorities

Priority:

Action taken:
Priority:

E-scooters/E-bikes.

Issued 20 July 2026

Action taken:

Officers are aware of concerns about the use of e-scooters and e-bikes along the promenade and have increased patrols in the area to address illegal riding and improve safety. Enforcement activity is carried out where offences are identified, and officers continue to respond to reports from residents. Earlier this year, an e-scooter was seized following ongoing complaints about the way it was being ridden. Officers will continue to patrol the area and take appropriate action where e-scooters or e-bikes are being used unlawfully or in a way that causes concern to the community.

Actioned 30 September 2026
Priority:

Highways obstructions.

Issued 20 July 2026

Action taken:

Officers have not received reports of regular highway obstructions in the area. However, they were recently made aware of a vehicle that had been left on double yellow lines. Checks confirmed that the vehicle was legally registered and insured, meaning there were no grounds for police seizure. Responsibility for parking enforcement on double yellow lines sits with the local council, so the details were passed to the council for appropriate action. Officers will continue to respond to reports and work with partner agencies where issues are identified.

Actioned 30 September 2026
Priority:

Road safety issues.

Issued 20 July 2026

Action taken:

Officers work closely with Community Speedwatch volunteers and are working with them to identify suitable locations for joint speed monitoring activity in the area. Community Speedwatch is a scheme that allows trained volunteers to work with the police to monitor vehicle speeds and highlight roads where speeding is a concern. Information gathered through this work helps officers target enforcement activity where it is most needed and supports ongoing efforts to improve road safety for everyone.
