Persistent ASB Priority: As of late January 2026, the Crossways Shopping Centre is one of three key hotspots under active enforcement due to reports of "continual antisocial behaviour".

Action Taken:

• Joint Patrols: Regular high-visibility patrols are being conducted by police alongside council ASB teams and housing officers (Wolverhampton Homes) within the shopping centre and residential blocks.

• Enforcement: Officers have already served Community Protection Warnings (CPWs) and Notices (CPNs) to individuals identified as causing trouble in the area.

• Resource Surge: Additional force-wide resources have been deployed to assist local teams with reassurance patrols to protect businesses and residents. 

Off-Road Bikes: Multi-agency road safety operations (MARSO) are ongoing to tackle nuisance off-road bikes frequently reported in the surrounding area.

Business Support: The local team is meeting with site managers at major hubs like Bentley Bridge and The Crossways to improve reporting methods and security measures.

Community Surgeries: Residents can discuss specific concerns directly with Sergeants Chris Smythe and Emma Clark at local events, such as upcoming surgeries at the Stratton Street Community Centre.
