Anti-Social Behaviour - General
Priority identified through the Community Message Priority Survey 01/07/2026 - 31/07/2026.
ASB has been identified as a key priority for Selby Neighbourhood Policing Team. Local residents have told us that ASB can have a significant impact on their quality of life, affecting how safe people feel in their communities and public spaces.
Our Response
We will work closely with partner agencies, local councils, housing providers and community groups to identify and address the causes of ASB, take enforcement action where appropriate, and support those affected by nuisance and disorder. Through targeted patrols, engagement with young people, early intervention and problem-solving approaches, we are committed to reducing ASB and helping to keep Selby a safe place to live, work and visit.
Parking Issues
Priority identified through the Community Messaging Priority Survey 01/07/2026 - 31/07/2026.
Parking issues, particularly around school pick‑up and drop‑off times, remain a priority for North Yorkshire Police in Selby. We recognise the concerns this causes for residents, parents and schools, particularly in terms of safety and accessibility. This will continue to be a focus for us heading into the new school year in September.
Our Response
Local neighbourhood officers carry out targeted patrols during peak school times to address parking concerns and improve safety. We also work closely with our School Liaison Officers, who engage directly with schools to promote safe parking practices and support long-term solutions. This will continue to be a focus for us heading into the new school year in September.
Speeding
Priority identified through the Community Messaging Priority Survey 01/07/2026 - 31/07/2026.
Residents across the Selby area have identified speeding and road safety as a significant concern. Excessive speed can increase the risk of collisions, reduce road safety for pedestrians and cyclists, and negatively affect the quality of life in our communities. Through Community Messenger feedback and ongoing engagement with residents, speeding has been highlighted as an issue that causes concern in a number of locations across the district.
Report a speeding concern: https://www.northyorkshire.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/wsi/watch-schemes-initiatives/community-speedwatch/community-speed-watch/tell-us-about-a-speed-concern/
Our Response
Selby Neighbourhood Policing Team will work with local communities, North Yorkshire Council, the Road Safety Team and Roads Policing colleagues to address speeding concerns across the district. Our activity will include targeted patrols in identified hotspot locations, community speed monitoring, enforcement where appropriate, and the deployment of safety camera vans at sites highlighted through community feedback and collision data. We will continue to use information provided by residents and partner agencies to focus our efforts where they are needed most, improving road safety and reducing the risk posed by speeding vehicles.
