For instance, when we spoke to residents in Old Trafford recently, we were told that drugs were a problem that needed tackling. On 8 June, officers searched a flat in Ayton Court and seized 223 harvested cannabis plants with an estimated street value of £120,000.

In response to complaints over anti-social behaviour (asb) in Partington, officers increased patrols in parks and hot spot areas and used digital cameras to gather evidence. This resulted in the seizure of well over 100 bottles and cans of alcohol from under-age drinkers during May and the implementation of anti-social behaviour orders for some of our most prolific offenders.

Concerns are often raised over alcohol-related asb in Sale and Altrincham town centres. To combat this, we have run metrolink checks, knife arch, cocaine torch and drugs dog operations, visits to licensed premises and increased officer patrols in both town centres to combat this problem.

The Government has set all police forces a target to raise public confidence that the police and local council are dealing with the anti-social behaviour and crime issues that matter locally.

56.7% of people surveyed in Trafford agree that the police and local council are dealing with the anti-social behaviour and crime issues that matter in this area.

This is the result of a face to face survey that was conducted in this area which asked local people whether they agree that:

“The police and local council are dealing with the anti-social behaviour and crime issues that matter in this area”.

Care should be taken in making comparisons in local indicators that have used different survey techniques.

The survey is based on a random survey of people in the local area. The use of a random sample aims to ensure the results are statistically representative of the local population. Compared to other estimates of how the population is made up, the sample for this survey may under represent some subgroups.

Greater Manchester Police has conducted Neighbourhood Surveys with local residents since April 2008. Following national guidance we have now moved to a face to face survey which was introduced in October 2009 and involves a rolling programme of interviews carried out between PCSOs and local residents. The survey focuses on:

• Confidence in policing
• Perceptions of anti-social behaviour
• Neighbourhood Policing
• Local priorities

The results are used to improve the service provided by the police and our partners.

The Government has set all police forces a target to raise public confidence that the police and local council are dealing with the anti-social behaviour and crime issues that matter locally. Performance against this target is measured at a force level through the British Crime Survey but local progress is monitored through our Neighbourhood Surveys.

Local people were asked whether they agree that, “the police and local council are dealing with the anti-social behaviour and crime issues that matter in this area”. This is how people responded in Trafford during October 2009 to March 2010:

• 11.4% said they strongly agree
• 45.4% said they tend to agree
• 21.8% neither agreed or disagreed
• 5.3% said they tend to disagree
• 0.9% said they strongly disagree
• 15.2% said they don’t know
