Darnhill Day of Action
Inspector Steve Hanlon, says: "There has been a distinct improvement in behaviour of young people in Heywood Town Centre on a Friday evening.
"I have been out and met some of them and was largely impressed.
"I would like to thank Youth Services for their sterling work at the Friday Night Project. There is no room for complacency though and I will continue to try to place more staff out in the Town Centre at this time.
"We will also continue our initiative at Darnhill to ensure all members of the community can feel safe and enjoy their surroundings."
Darnhill Day of Action
Police and partners had a day of action at Darnhill on Wednesday 4 March alongside Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service, Community Safety, Rochdale Boroughwide Housing, Guiness Housing, Youth Services and several Council departments. There was also a litter pick to try to improve the environment for all.
The police had a dispersal order in place to deal with anti-social behaviour and were present in greater numbers, including local officers and Tactical Aid Unit. The increased activity proved popular amongst residents.
