Bedworth West Safer-Neighbourhood Team

Bedworth West SNT Team covering Keresley are working closely with the local housing groups in order to reduce Anti-Social Behaviour in the area. This will also include looking closely at occupants tenancy conditions.

Bedworth Heath PCSO's have recently increased their patrols in the public land to the rear of Newdigate Primary School/Cardigan Road due to complaints of nuisance motorbikes.

Due to this they have so far issued 4 Section 59 warnings to offenders, which means if these people re-offend their bikes will be seized. This has also led to a positive decrease in complaints made to the police.
