Anti-social behaviour around the city centre has been highlighted as a chief concern for locals - with King Street and parks identified as key hotspots. 

These findings came from a Safer Neighborhood Action Panel (SNAP) for Norwich East held by Norfolk Constabulary on June 21. 

The discussion covered areas such as Bowthorpe, Hellesdon and New Catton.

A release sent out by Norfolk police said: "Following discussions in the meeting from residents and stakeholders, it was decided that two of the new priorities for the area will be: King Street and surrounding area for drug-related anti-social behaviour and city centre disorder and anti-social behaviour around parks and communal spaces."

A poll has also been released to vote on a third priority.

It comes after multiple reports of anti-social behaviour and drug-related crime within the hotspots in question.

Drugs worth more than £1.5m imported from Colombia and Mexico were discovered by police at a property in King Street.

There were recent reports of "aggressive" anti-social behaviour from folk living near Longdale Playing Fields in Thorpe Marriott, with late-night revving of mopeds, loud music and littering in the park.

Images appeared online in February of anti-social behaviour in the city centre, showing someone taking part in a dangerous online craze known as lift-surfing.

A similar poll back in February for Norwich North saw St Clements Hill and Constitution Hill, in Sewell Ward, selected to focus on its drug and vehicle-related issues.

The next SNAP meeting will include tackling issues such as alcohol-related anti-social behaviour and disorder in the Gas Hill area, problems related to drug use in the Wellington Green area and alcohol-related anti-social behaviour in Distillery Square.

The next SNAP meeting for Norwich East will take place on September 6.
