Anti social behaviour in the tower blocks. Continued priority.

Residents are concerned about ongoing anti social behaviour in the tower blocks, Bridport House, Beech Hill House and Kempsey House. Neighbourhood officers have been patrolling the blocks and we will continue to work closely with Birmingham City Council and housing associations to tackle the issues.
We continue to work alongside our housing departments from Birmingham City Council and other housing providers. We regularly discuss problem locations and tenants within our monthly community safety partnership meetings and arrange joint visits to those causing the harm to the community. If you know of anyone causing harm in the community please let us know through Crimestoppers anonymously - or direct to one of the local team.

Further work with our partners at BCC have resulted in further intelligence led work in the blocks where we have seen a decrease in events

Parking obstructions, untaxed, sorn vehicles. Continued priority.

This matter is raised with us at our local meetings with the community and in impromptu discussions with local residents and shop workers. As such, we will continue to work on this priority.
Residents have reported numerous issues relating to parking obstructions, untaxed vehicles and sorn vehicles in and around the area of Kineton Croft. Officers have been checking vehicles and taking action where we can whether it be a ticket or seizing the vehicle.
If you see a vehicle and believe it to be parked illegally, dangerously or in an anti social manner please contact us through 101, or our online sites.

Anti social behaviour caused by off road motorcycles and speeding vehicles. Continued Priority.

We are still informed in our regular meetings and discussions with the public that this is still a requirement as a priority. This is going to continue as a priority over the summer months so work on this matter can progress.
This matter affects the wider constituency alongside the wider force area and work is taking place through multiple departments to make a difference.
If you have any phone footage or doorbell footage of this sort of offence please make contact with one of the team and we will happily review. If you know where the bikes are stored please contact ourselves or Crimestoppers anonymously. We will look to organise operations with neighbourhood officers and the road policing team working together as we have previously done this and had positive action in seizing bikes in the area.

Following a review of crime figures in the area and inteligence received from the local community, Youth based violence and knife crime has been raised as a concern. We will continue to work to reduce these issues within the community and offer safeguarding and support to those who have been a victim.

The Bartley Green team will continue to complete targeted patrols to tackle the issue. This will be a mixture of full uniform and plain clothed patrols. The team will patrol the main streets, shopping areas and parks to ensure the community is safe.
