Police have stepped up patrols across Carlton to ease fears about behaviour and anti-social behaviour (ASB).
Patrols were carried out last night and police visited Ernest Road, Hallam Road, Standhill Road and Prospect Road.
Those on patrols said it had been a quiet night.
A police spokesman said: “Gedling overnight pro-active reassurance patrols have continued tonight in the Carlton area by our neighbourhood and specials policing team. Officers were targeting ASB and Burglary Priorities.
“We are happy to report no issues.”
Both burglary and anti-social behaviour have been identified as police priorities, which are recommended by residents across the borough every few months as an area of focus for local police teams. A final decision is then taken on the priorities by police and Gedling Borough Council.
The police priorities for Gedling borough will be refreshed next month.
Police outline what action they will take when selecting a priority.
For burglary they committed to ‘carrying out patrols in hotspot locations.’
They said: “We are targeting known and prolific offenders working together with the County burglary team and other force resources. We are attending all dwelling burglaries and ensure that victims are safeguarded. We maximise forensic and investigative opportunities to identify suspects who will be prioritised.
“We ensure that known offenders are appropriately supervised where possible to reduce the risk of re-offending. We will utilise local and social media to raise awareness of burglary and crime prevention opportunities.”
They committed to the following to stamp out on anti-social behaviour in the area.
Police said: “We have identified key areas to target high visibility patrols.
“We are working together with the Gedling Neighbourhood Wardens to identify and deal with perpetrators. We are also supported by a team of Special Constables who carry out additional patrols during the evenings and weekends when ASB is most prevalent.
“We are also working together with private and social housing sectors to deal with those who cause nuisance through excessive noise or other behaviour that has a profound effect on victim’s lives.
“We will also carry out patrols linked to drug use in ‘open spaces’ as this does contribute to reported anti-social behaviour in the Gedling Borough.”
