Issues of anti-social behaviour in Cockermouth have been identified following a Police and Communities Together (PACT) survey.

Feedback has been reviewed, with concerns being raised relating to anti-social behaviour and criminal damage in the town centre, particularly near the public toilets on Main Street and Bitterbeck car park.

"Our local officers will be conducting patrols in these areas to address these issues and respond to crime and disorder.

"We encourage the local community to continue to report any incidents," said a spokesman.

"We will be conducting a further survey in three months time.

"Please continue to report any incidents of crime or anti-social behaviour."

PCSO Clare Parker has been conducting reassurance visits to victims of anti-social behaviour and patrolling the areas.

This follows an Anti-Social Behaviour Risk Assessment in the areas of Waterloo Street and Ghyll Bank, Little Broughton.

Inspector Pete Aiston said: "A polite reminder to parents and carers, please ask young people what they are doing, where they are going and discuss with them the implication of their behaviour on individuals and the community."
