Tackling Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) in Rainbow Park that has been having a significant impact on the community. The team will be looking at offences around the use and possession of drugs.

The Neighbourhood team have performed patrols and leaflet drops around Rainbow park in relation to anti-social behaviour. We have had responses to our leaflet drops to help us target our patrols.

We have held a community meeting at the Winnersh Community Centre with members of the ASB team from Wokingham Borough Council and Sanctuary Housing Association.

The Neighbourhood and Problem Solving Teams have implemented a long-term problem-solving plan and are undertaking work to protect vulnerable people by using tools such as closure orders and conducting regular patrols around identified areas. We are engaging with the local community and working with our partner agency the ASB Team at Wokingham Borough Council on solving these issues.

Tackling Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) that has a significant community impact. In particular, the team are looking at offences of theft from shops.

The Neighbourhood team have been providing a higher presence around identified targeted local shops, to deter shoplifting both during the day and evenings.

We have conducted targeted patrols around shops within the Winnersh area where we have been made aware of ongoing shoplifting issues. We are working with local shops to disrupt shoplifters, and to identify and deal with repeat offenders.

Concerns around the use of e-scooters and e-bikes

The Neighbourhood team will issue section 59 warning notices to individuals using e-bikes in a manner which is causing or likely to cause alarm, distress or annoyance to members of the public. If these individuals are observed again within a 12 month period, their bikes can be seized.

We have made the public aware of the rules around e-scooters through social media campaigns.
e-scooters can only be used on private land
e-scooters are illegal on any public highway, pavement or in a public space
You cannot get insurance to ride these on the road

Therefore, privately owned e-scooters can only be used on private land, with the permission of the landowner.

Some parts of the UK are running government trials of rental e-scooters, though there aren't any schemes currently in Berkshire.
