Hodge Hill

ASB along Washwood Heath road -Due to increased numbers of complaints relating to inconsiderate parking and ASB caused by customers using a number of the businesses.

We are working with Birmingham City Council Parking Enforcement. We know that the majority of vehicles are owned locally, so we are using a mixture of education and enforcement, to persuade residents and customers to be more considerate.

ASB Bromford Drive- There has been an increase of reports of ASB at Old Bromford road , this has included groups of young males/,motor vehicles being driven in an anti-social manner and empty Nitrous Oxide canisters being left in parking areas.

Multi agency operations to tackle the fatal four (speeding, drink/drug driving, using a mobile phone, not wearing seatbelt). Sometimes you will see us on our own with a handheld speed device to catch speeding drivers. Other times you will see us parked up with partners from DVSA, West Midlands Fire Service, Taxi Licensing, VOSA and many more, providing education to drivers and removing vehicles form the road that shouldn’t be there. We are also introducing community Speedwatch, to help focus attention on the dangers of speeding.

Since November 2023 nitrous oxide is now a class c controlled drug Under the misuse of drugs act. We will look to increase our local patrols in the hot spot areas identified to conduct stop and searches of those suspected of being in possession or under the influence of nitrous oxide. We will also work with local council to issue fines/warnings to those responsible for littering
