Drug dealing and prostitution are the two top crime concerns of people living in the Manningham and Toller areas of Bradford.

The concerns were revealed in a survey carried out by the local Neighbourhood Policing Team which visited 430 residents and asked them to complete a survey about crime and issues in their neighbourhood.

Other major concerns were teenagers hanging around on the streets, inconvenient and illegal parking, boy racers and noisy vehicles. The neighbourhood policing team is now putting together a three-month action plan specifically looking at all those issues which will get underway next month.

Inspector Steve Dodds, who leads the Manningham and Toller NPT, said: “I am committed to listening to the views of the community and to tackling those issues they feel are most important. This survey informs the NPT about the actions we should be taking to improve the quality of life for the community.”

The original survey showed that 72 per cent of people thought police understood issues affecting their neighbourhood and offered a high standard of service. Three-quarters of them believed police were doing “quite well or very well” at reducing antisocial behaviour.
