City Centre South

We are responding to community concerns linked to a range of anti-social behaviour linked to youth groups and members of the street community across the ward. The main number of reports over the last month have been around the areas of Ropewalks and Hanover Street.

Keeping Liverpool City Centre safe remains a key priority. Throughout October, officers have continued to work closely with Liverpool City Council, local businesses, Housing Solutions, The Whitechapel Centre and other partner organisations to tackle crime, anti-social behaviour and issues affecting the street community.
Neighbourhood officers have maintained regular high-visibility and plain-clothes patrols across the city centre, focusing on locations identified through community feedback, intelligence and reported incidents. This targeted approach helps prevent crime, address anti-social behaviour and provide reassurance to residents, businesses and visitors.
Where individuals have persistently engaged in anti-social behaviour, officers have taken positive action using appropriate enforcement powers, including Community Protection Warnings and Community Protection Notices. At the same time, we continue to work with partners to ensure vulnerable individuals are offered access to support and intervention services.
We have also continued to support Liverpool City Council's ongoing review of the city centre Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO), helping to ensure officers and partner agencies have effective tools available to address persistent anti-social behaviour and protect the wider community.
The information provided by residents, businesses and visitors remains crucial in helping us identify concerns, develop intelligence and target resources where they are needed most. We would encourage anyone who witnesses crime or anti-social behaviour to continue reporting it so that appropriate action can be taken.
Incidents can be reported via 101, 999 in an emergency, online, or at the General Enquiry Offices at Admiral Street and St Anne Street Police Stations.
