Wiltshire Police - Amesbury Town Neighbourhood

All areas affected by A360 closure

The A360 is currently closed for 3 months from Camp Hill Woodford (north of Salisbury) to the junction with the A303, Winterbourne Stoke. A diversion is in place through Amesbury and temporary weight restrictions are in place through many of the local villages. The local NPT will be patrolling and monitoring the areas when they can to ensure compliance with the restrictions and diversion. They will be supported by other departments in this. While we will do what we can to ease the situation there will be some unavoidable disruption and delayed journey times due to this work.

ASB Concerns

We have had a number or reports of graffiti in the areas of Boscombe Road, Archers Way and Underwood Drive in Amesbury. High visibility patrols are being conducted in and around these areas to deter further ASB and enquires are continuing to identify those involved.

ASB and Criminality in public spaces

We are aware that Workhouse layby in Amesbury has regularly experienced anti social behaviour.

In recent weeks local neighbourhood officers have worked with the Council to make this area less attractive to those engaging in ASB.

Along with the clearing of the area local officers will be stepping up patrols to disrupt such activity and educate those responsible that anti social behaviour will not be tolerated at this location due to the effect it is having on the community.

Hare Coursing

As we move into Autumn we traditionally see an increase in hare coursing. This activity is illegal and causes damage and disruption to the land it takes place on. Local officers will be focussing their efforts on patrolling areas know to be used by hare courses and other rural locations at risk. Officers will look to deter any offences taking place and deal robustly where offences are found to have been committed. They will also look to identify areas at risk and offer security and target hardening advice to land owners where possible.
