Title: Immingham’s Anti-Social Behaviour Targeted by Operation Agility
Content:
An initiative entitled ‘Operation Agility’ has recently been launched in Immingham, facilitated by North East Lincolnshire Council and Humberside Police. The joint strategy aims to combat on-going issues of anti-social behaviour within the town, providing prompt responses to residents’ concerns over issues that range from nuisance bikers to fly-tipping.
This operation has implemented a progression of multi-agency actions since its inception in March, such as drug-dog searches and a focus on ‘Op Yellowfin’, a subsection of the operation that serves to address motorbike-related disturbances. The initiative has already facilitated five dedicated ‘Days of Action’ within Immingham.
Various local organisations have offered their support to these efforts, including Equans, Immingham Town Council, and Lincolnshire Housing Partnership. Educational outreach forms a significant part of this operation, utilising local school visits to advocate for responsible vehicle use and parental engagement, emphasising this at institutions like Pilgrim Academy.
Sergeant Katie Call, who is overseeing this initiative, underscored the necessity of maintaining community safety and administering proactive policing, stating that ‘Operation Agility has already had quite a positive impact. We’re intent on increasing this progress via community engagement initiatives and further days of action.’
Local councillors such as Ron Shepherd and Stewart Swinburn have shown strong backing for this operation, acknowledging its valuable role in addressing issues like anti-social behaviour and fly-tipping in order to make sure Immingham is kept a safe and comfortable living environment for its residents.
All local inhabitants are requested to report any related concerns, to ensure this operation continues to improve safety and justice within the area.
