Is Larkswood safe?

Current local priorities

• Motor vehicle crime
• Burglary remains a key ward priority due to its significant impact on victims and community confidence. SNT officers continue to conduct targeted reassurance patrols in burglary hotspot locations, undertake intelligence-led enquiries, provide crime prevention advice, and engage with residents identified as vulnerable or at risk. Partnership working and preventative initiatives, including property marking and the distribution of crime prevention equipment where appropriate, are being used to reduce opportunities for offending and increase public reassurance. Recent activity has included high-visibility patrols and burglary prevention visits as part of Operation Baldegg.
• Anti-Social Behaviour remains a key ward priority due to ongoing reports of nuisance, disorder, neighbour disputes and behaviour causing fear and distress within the community. SNT officers work closely with local authority partners, housing providers and residents to identify repeat locations and individuals, using problem-solving approaches, targeted patrols and enforcement opportunities where appropriate. The focus remains on reducing community harm, improving resident confidence and safeguarding vulnerable individuals involved in ASB incidents.
