Rowdy and inconsiderate behaviour/ASB outside Oaklands College

The anti-social behaviour reported includes littering, smoking, and committing public order offences outside the college during break times and after lessons, affecting passers-by and nearby residents.
We did:
o We have been working closely with the college, Speckled Hen and local shops.
o Increased high-visibility patrols

o We are now working with the police Community Support Unit to issue anti-social behaviour agreements to repeat offenders.

Vehicle related anti-social behaviour at Starbucks and the A414 North Orbital Road.

This is a long-term neighbourhood priority of vehicle related anti-social driving, illegal car meets and excessive noise along the A405 in Chiswell Green.
We did:
o We have been working on this complex long-term neighbourhood priority with Starbucks, Herts Highways, Herts County Council, local councillors, local residents, Burston Garden Centre and the PCCs office for the past five-and-a -half years.
o Acoustic monitoring technology was installed last year to measure vehicles emitting noise above the legal threshold, funded by the Police and Crime Commissioner. St Albans Neighbourhood officers were the driving force behind the new technology being installed.
The number of reports has dramatically reduced over the past few months.
