Patrols remain ongoing around Kingsmead Square in the city centre to drive down anti-social behaviour.
Issues reported to the police involve the street community’s use of drink and drugs, and complaints about inappropriate language and verbal abuse directed at members of the public.
Neighbourhood officers from the city centre policing team are attending the Kingsmead Square area regularly, as are extra patrols provided by Home Office funding, and patrols from security marshals from Bath BID (Business Improvement District).
Street drinkers are being moved on, especially where they are sitting in doorways.
The city centre policing team say they have a good recent track record of using Community Protection Warnings, Community Protection Notices and Criminal Behaviour Orders to exclude offenders from areas they are impacting.
These orders require evidence from the community, so police encourage members of the public to report any anti-social behaviour they witness either to officers out on patrol or online at www.avonandsomerset.police.uk/report/anti-social-behaviour/.
