Below is a summary of activity we've undertaken as part of the Neighbourhood Policing Week of Action across Tameside:
This week your neighbourhood policing teams will be holding initiatives to raise awareness on the vital role they play in protecting our Tameside communities.
As part of the initiative, the Hyde neighbourhood team has temporarily acquired a unit based in the Clarendon Shopping Centre in Hyde town centre.
Members of the team, including Inspector Jackson and Chief Inspector Grundy, will be available between 10:00 and 13:00 throughout the week. Please feel free to drop in if you require guidance, wish to raise any issues or concerns, or would like to provide feedback.
Free tea, coffee and biscuits are available for attendees. There will also be free security bike marking for anyone travelling down by pedal bike.
You told us your concerns about Ashton-under-Lyne town centre; we acted on them, and now a public space protection order is in place.
This prevents people from drinking in public spaces like Pigeon Park.
Tameside - you told us you were concerned about ongoing anti‑social behaviour in Ashton‑under‑Lyne town centre that was affecting public safety, confidence and the overall environment.
In response your committed local neighbourhood officers have taken action.
Sergeant Rob Froggatt leads Operation Barbican, a neighbourhood‑led town centre anti‑social behaviour (ASB) and reassurance operation based in Ashton‑under‑Lyne.

During our Neighbourhood Week of Action the teams from Tameside have been promoting the impact of strong partnership working between the police, the council and other agencies to keep our communities safe.
The Council’s CCTV service continues to play a vital role within this wider community safety approach, providing reassurance to the public while acting as an effective tool in both the prevention and detection of crime. Although the CCTV team is not a prosecuting authority, the intelligence and evidence they provide are crucial in supporting both local authority services and Greater Manchester Police.
Between April 2025 and March 2026, proactive monitoring and vigilance delivered real results, assisting GMP in the following:
• Identifying 205 individuals for arrest
• 89 vulnerable or missing individuals safeguarded
• 47 wanted individuals located or breaches of Community Behaviour Orders identified
Chief Inspector Grundy said: “These outcomes highlight what we can achieve when we work together protecting the vulnerable, tackling crime, and making our neighbourhoods safer places for everyone. Our local CCTV operators have expert knowledge of the area and provide incredible support to our teams. Our local neighbourhood officers work closely with these operators to ensure effective action is taken where communities need us.”
