Please close as no longer a priority
27 July 2023

This has been reviewed and is no longer a priority. ASB will always be an issue at Yate shopping centre and police will continue to monitor, but it does not need to remain as a priority. The ABS in this area has greatly reduced due to joint partnership working and police ASB legislation.

2 Youths have now been given injunctions with conditions. Other youths continue to engage with police and we look to further reduce ASB in this area.
26 January 2023

We have worked with Yate Security in recent months and increased patrol to target offenders. We are also working with the police Anti-Social Behaviour team to progress to the next process in taking legal action against a few individuals.

This is very much an on going operation.
