Tackling ASB across Solihull

West Midlands Police have been taking action in response to community concerns around anti-social behaviour across Solihull.

Over the past week, the Solihull officers carried out multiple patrols across the borough and were joined by representatives from both Solihull Council and Solihull Community Housing.

On 29 June, an all-out day was held in Kingshurst followed by patrols by the neighbourhood team alongside the Guardian Taskforce. Representatives from the Council and SCH alongside ASB officers joined the patrols.

Officers and council representatives conducted house-to-house enquiries along Over Green Drive, Shenton Walk, Broom Croft Road and Marston Drive.

Members of the community also attended a beat operation where their concerns were listened to and actioned. Advice was provided on how to report incidents.

Over in St Alphege, officers held a speed enforcement operation around Dorchester Road, where over 150 vehicles had their speeds checked. Thankfully, none of the drivers were found to be speeding.

The police also carried out proactive patrols around Solihull town centre to combat reports of ASB in the area.

Over the summer months, police have launched #SaferTownsSummer, giving communities an insight into activity taking place across our town centres to prevent crime, tackle anti-social behaviour and keep people safe.

We want our communities to feel informed and connected, confident that we are committed to making our town centres safe, welcoming places for everyone, and taking action where it matters most.
