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.

We continue to work closely with a range of partner organisations to address issues affecting the area and ensure it remains a safe and welcoming environment for residents, businesses and visitors.
Neighbourhood officers regularly patrol the area and engage with local businesses, residents and community representatives. These conversations provide valuable insight into community concerns, help identify emerging issues and enable us to respond effectively through targeted problem-solving and enforcement activity.
Over recent months, officers have carried out a number of proactive operations using a combination of high-visibility patrols and plain-clothed officers to tackle criminality and anti-social behaviour. As part of this work, several Community Protection Warnings and Community Protection Notices have been issued to individuals whose behaviour was having a detrimental impact on those living, working and visiting the area.
Throughout the summer holiday period, a dedicated policing and disruption plan has been put in place to address seasonal increases in anti-social behaviour across the city centre. This has included enhanced foot patrols, increased officer visibility at key locations and greater engagement with businesses, residents and visitors to identify and address concerns at an early stage.
We have also continued to work closely with Liverpool City Council in support of the recently introduced Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO). Merseyside Police provided evidence to support the application process, and the order is now being actively enforced by police officers and PCSOs. Officers have taken robust action where individuals have failed to comply with the restrictions, including directing individuals away from affected areas and reporting breaches to Liverpool City Council for further enforcement consideration.
The PSPO is designed to address persistent anti-social behaviour within designated public spaces and provides additional powers to help keep these areas safe, welcoming and accessible for everyone. We will continue to work alongside Liverpool City Council to raise awareness of the order and ensure it is used effectively where necessary.
Neighbourhood officers continue to carry out targeted patrols at locations identified through community feedback, intelligence and reported incidents. These patrols are focused on preventing crime and anti-social behaviour, providing reassurance and responding proactively to concerns raised by local communities.
We remain committed to working collaboratively with our partners to address the issues that matter most to local communities. Information from residents, businesses and visitors is vital in helping us identify problems, target resources effectively and take action against those responsible for crime and anti-social behaviour.
We encourage anyone who witnesses crime or anti-social behaviour to report it. Incidents can be reported by calling 101, or 999 in an emergency. Reports can also be submitted online via the Merseyside Police website or in person at Admiral Street Police Station or St Anne Street Police Station.

We are responding to community concerns linked to drug activity in several areas of the ward, particularly around the area of Ropewalks during the Night Time Economy and weekend periods.
