A Harrogate district police inspector has revealed the district's crime hotspots — and what police are doing to tackle them.
Inspector Ed Rogerson addressed members of Harrogate Borough Council's overview and scrutiny committee last night.
Insp. Rogerson, who works for North Yorkshire Police's Harrogate outer area, identified five areas as causes for concern.
Councillor Robert Windass, a Conservative who represents Boroughbridge, told the meeting he had received "numerous reports" of drug taking in the Back Lane car park and urged police to "up patrols and get rid of drug dealers". Insp. Rogerson said two new police community support officers were joining his team and he would ensure everyone was aware of the problem.
He said the force was "updating its problem solving plan and will be working with housing developers to reduce" such incidents.
