After an increase in patrols in Lower Bemerton, Salisbury Police say they've seen a drop in concerns from local residents about anti-social behaviour.

Officers increased their 'visibility' in December at the end of last year due to issues in and around the car park and play park area in Lower Road, near the primary school.
