Tackling Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) in the Arborfield Garrison and Spencers Wood Recreation areas which has had a significant community impact.

The Neighbourhood Team are working with our partners and the local community to intervene as early as possible when ASB occurs. Our Long-term Problem Solving plan for ASB includes working with our partner agencies, such as the ASB Team at Wokingham Borough Council, to patrol these areas, identify those responsible and manage persistent offenders and locations. We will continue to carry out intervention work at local schools and youth groups to help prevent issues from occurring in the first place.
We will continue our work with the local authority to look at ways of improving the area and provide activities for youths to engage in.

Tackling issues caused by car meets at Mereoak Park & Ride

The neighbourhood team have worked with the local authority and other partner agencies to tackle regular car meets. Whilst the majority of people who meet stay within the realms of the law, we continue to deal with any offences identified and associated anti-social behaviour (ASB). Several S59 warnings have been issued for anti-social use of the motor vehicles and fixed penalty notices for any offences identified. We will continue to work with our partners to target harden any potential locations for meets.

Anti-social use of motorbikes, e-scooters, dirt bikes and quadbikes throughout the area.

The Neighbourhood Team ran an operation on 31st May – where we had 3 stop searches under the Misuse of Drugs Act, issued 2 e-scooter warning letters and made 2 arrests – one for a DV assault and TWOC of a moped and one for failing to provide a sample of saliva for analyst via a drugs swipe. 1 scooter was seized under S165 Road Traffic Act for no insurance and 2 x S59 warnings were given for anti-social use of mopeds. These vehicles can be seized if seen acting in an anti-social way in the future.

We will be planning more ops over the summer and continue to target and ID those involved.

Anti-social use of motorbikes, e-scooters, dirt bikes and quadbikes throughout the area.

If you cause serious harm to another person whilst riding an e-scooter, the incident will be investigated in the same way it would if you were riding a motorcycle or driving a car.

Please be advised that If you breech the rules when using an e-scooter you could face a fixed penalty notice.The fixed penalty notice could include:
a £300 fine and six penalty points on your licence for having no insurance
a £100 fine and three to six penalty points for riding without the correct licence

You could also be committing an offence if you are caught:
- riding on a pavement: fixed penalty notice and possible £50 fine
- using a mobile phone or other handheld mobile device while riding: £200 and six penalty points
- riding through red lights: fixed penalty notice, £100 fine and possible penalty points
- drink driving: the same as if you were driving a car, you could face court imposed fines, a driving ban and possible imprisonment
