Anti social behaviour in Westfield has been increasing recently with more incidents recorded in the ward than anywhere else outside the City centre in October.

The increase has partly been blamed on the cessation of the Ward committee funded Community Ranger security patrols.

The Labour council has been asked to reintroduce the patrols as soon as possible.

Temporary Assistant Chief Constable Iain Spittal said:

“North Yorkshire Police has the necessary contingency arrangements in place to ensure core services are maintained during the planned public sector strike on Wednesday 30 November.

“We are satisfied that these measures will mitigate for any police staff who choose to support the industrial action.

“Members of the public will experience a ‘business as usual’ service as far as possible, with emergency 999 calls being dealt with as swiftly and professionally as ever.

“We feel our approach best serves the overarching priority of North Yorkshire Police, which is to protect and serve our communities.”
