Anti-Social Behaviour

Issued 01 October 2024

You Said, We Did - October 2024 to March 2025
•A community meeting was held in Crick to address residents' concerns about anti-social behaviour affecting the local area. Officers have increased targeted patrols at key times between 3pm and 7pm each day, and no further reports of anti-social behaviour have been received.
•A meeting was held at Daventry police station to address the concerns arising from an increase in anti-social behaviour incidents within Daventry town centre, primarily resulting from the behaviour of a known group of young people. Following this, acceptable behaviour contracts were issued to the key perpetrators in the presence of their family members, and intervention activities commenced. This has resulted in reduced reports of anti-social behaviour within the town.
•Operation Fragment has begun on The Grange estate in Daventry, to target anti-social behaviour in this specific area through partnership working and coordinated police activity and disruption. While in the early stages, activity is planned for the coming months.
•Concerns from Byfield Parish Council regarding the behaviour of a group within the village were responded to, resulting in anti-social behaviour advice letters being issued and families being spoken to, addressing the concerns raised.
•Daventry has benefitted from increased funding from the Home Office to target anti-social behaviour at key times in hotspot areas. This has supported increased visible patrols throughout the evenings, with officers patrolling on foot in the town centre between 2pm and 10pm most evenings from October to March.
