"We have seen a rise in damage to the beach chalets, in order to help reduce this we are actively engaging with those working in the area and increasing our patrols, especially on a night-time.
There has also been an increase in the number of violent incidents especially outside public houses. We are ensuring we have a visible presence during peak times such as the weekend.
Youths in the area are still a main focus. we are constantly engaging and working alongside early help to tackle issues.
Repeating theft offenders have also been served barring letters from shops."
