Police taking action to tackle anti-social behaviour in Uckfield
"We know that anti-social behaviour can have a real impact on people’s lives"
Sussex Police have been working closely with partners and local businesses in Uckfield to tackle reports of youth-related anti-social behaviour (ASB).
The Neighbourhood Policing Team have increased dedicated patrols with officers in and around the town centre, to provide visibility and reassurance to local businesses and the wider public.
Wealden District Commander Mark Evans said: "We know that anti-social behaviour can have a real impact on people’s lives, whether that’s young people, families, businesses or residents. Our approach has been to combine robust enforcement with strong partnership working – tackling the behaviour directly but also offering support and opportunities to prevent further issues.
"We’re encouraged by the early results and will continue to keep up this momentum to ensure Uckfield remains a safe and welcoming place for everyone."
