Police in Salisbury are carrying out more high-visibility foot patrols in the city centre, to deal with increasing reports of anti-social behaviour.

Officers have been speaking to members of the public and visiting local businesses to see how they can help tackle issues.

Wiltshire Police has made preventing anti-social behaviour one of the force's priorities, under the guise of Safer Public Spaces.

PC Broadberry went out on patrols on Saturday (8th June) and said:

ā€œIt’s important this kind of behaviour is reported to us so we are aware of what is going on and we can do our best to combat this.

ā€œIf you see any ongoing behaviour which you deem to be anti-social then please contact the police on 101 or 999 in an emergency so we can deal with it appropriately.

ā€œWe will continue to proactively work alongside other partners to target ASB and ensure Salisbury town centre is a safe place for everyone.ā€
