Police are taking a 'no-nonsense' approach
People in Beeston say the authorities there have "no control" over young people as police deploy more officers to try and bring down anti-social behaviour in the town. Nottinghamshire Police say that residents have expressed concerns about increases in both anti-social behaviour and criminal damage in Beeston, particularly across its tram network.
Dubbed Operation Potassium, officers will target offenders and provide a "visible deterrent" in Beeston. Areas covered will include Beeston town centre, as well as areas around Dovecote Lane and Chilwell Road, with the operation running from Monday through December. "There will be a no-nonsense approach and we now have a plan in place to put officers in these locations for an extended period of time. Beeston is a great place to live, work and visit and we won't have it spoilt by a small minority."
