Prenton

Neighbourhood policing priorities in Prenton include tackling reports of rogue traders targeting elderly and vulnerable residents by charging excessive amounts for tree cutting and gardening work, causing concern within the community and potential financial exploitation.
There are also ongoing issues relating to street drinking and associated antisocial behaviour on Woodchurch Road, which continue to negatively impact residents, businesses and visitors. These concerns have been raised through community engagement and partner feedback and remain key priorities for Neighbourhood Policing, with a focus on safeguarding vulnerable people, preventing offending and improving public confidence.

Neighbourhood officers have conducted targeted high-visibility patrols in Prenton to identify and disrupt rogue traders targeting elderly and vulnerable residents, alongside providing crime prevention and safeguarding advice. Regular patrols have also been carried out on Woodchurch Road to address street drinking and associated antisocial behaviour, supported by ongoing engagement with residents, businesses and partner agencies to gather intelligence and reduce offending.
