GMP welcomed Angela Eagle MP to Bury Town Centre on Wednesday morning to see the work being done in conjunction with the force’s blitz on ASB.
The Home Office Minister shadowed a local neighbourhood policing operation which comes as part of the department’s Safer Streets Summer Initiative – known as Safe4Summer in Greater Manchester.
This work comes as part of a dedicated crackdown on anti-social behaviour (ASB) in communities and town centres, providing greater visibility through direct work with partners in hotspot areas.
Numerous hotspots were identified through analysis of areas that have been repeat demand-generators in the force area, and compiled for specific targeting by teams.
The Minister discussed the work being done with representatives from the local council, their town centre security teams, Bury’s Chief Inspector, and the Superintendent across the initiative.
This included a walk through the heart of the town centre, a visit to a business and discussion about how officers enforce the appropriate legislation, along with a visit to the Sir Robert Peel Statue – the founder of modern British policing.
The Safe4Summer initiative has already seen great successes – including 239 arrests for offences including ASB, retail crime, and violent offences since its launch at the end of June.
In addition, there has been more than 1,000 stop-searches, and thousands of policing hours dedicated to the hotspots.
GMP has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening our neighbourhood offer in recent years, including providing every district with a named local officer, implementing our community messaging service Bee In The Loop, and adding 176 officers to our neighbourhood ranks.
Home Office Minister, Dame Angela Eagle said: “We want high streets across the country to be places where people can feel safe, enjoy themselves and where local shops can succeed. This is why we have launched a summer blitz on crime in over 500 town centres nationwide, including in Bury.
“It was fantastic to see how Greater Manchester Police are working hard to deter shop theft, anti-social behaviour and other town centre crime across the region, and I want to pay my personal thanks to all the officers who protect our high streets.
"I was especially impressed with the exemplary work I saw going on in Bury to keep the high street safer, free of crime and antisocial behaviour. The local police with their partners are doing a great job.
“Through our Safer Streets Summer Initiative and our Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee, we’re putting officers back on our streets to do what they do best. We’re making our town centres safer with 3,000 extra neighbourhood officers and PCSOs in communities nationwide by next April.”
Superintendent Jen Kelly, from GMP’s Safe4Summer team, said: “We understand and acknowledge the frustrations that ASB can cause people as they go about their lives, and the Safer Streets Initiative is a project we are fully backing.
“Officers across every district are targeting hotspots the public has told us about, tackling everything from nuisance e-bikes to drug-dealing, street drinking, and more every single day.
“Their proactive approach over the summer months will be focusing on getting those people off the streets and engaging with our communities to enhance our knowledge on exactly where we are needed. We want to be able to reassure communities – from business owners to residents – that we are fully backing them and will help them wherever possible.”

These pigeons were tunnelling into the snowbank at the corner of my street -- they pecked all the way down to the grass!

A small group of goldeneye was hunching low to the water before every dive. No idea why -- when they'd stop foraging they'd stop doing this, and other ducks in the vicinity didn't try anything similar.
Demonstrating that they are leafcutters too, Trachusa laeviventris line their nests with leaf fragments. At one study site they were mainly cut from the leaves of Cistus salvifolius and Cistus crispus.

Ninja Sword amnesty in Heywood - Safe4Summer.
The initiative is part of the Government’s mission to restore and strengthen local policing in communities and reduce or prevent anti-social behaviour (ASB). As part of this, there will be a greater visibility of Greater Manchester Police (GMP) officers and partners as we work together across crime hot spot areas.
Kate Green, Deputy Mayor for Safer and Stronger Communities, said: "We’re determined to ensure Greater Manchester is a safer place for everyone. The Safer Streets Summer Initiative is a testament to our dedication to reducing crime and enhancing the quality of life for our residents.
“By continuing to work closely with our communities and partners, we aim to create an environment where everyone feels safe and can enjoy not only the summer but all year round and every year. We’ll be working hard to ensure our town centres are safe and welcoming for all.”
Assistant Chief Constable Matt Boyle, GMP’s lead for Local Policing, said: “Our neighbourhoods are negatively impacted by various crimes such as the illegal use of e-bikes, drug dealing and other ASB.
“As a force, it’s our mission to listen to our community’s concerns and take action where crime is committed. Our proactive approach to tackling neighbourhood crime has meant that since 2021, we’ve reduced burglary by a third and vehicle crime by a quarter, thanks to the dedication of our local neighbourhood teams, working closely with partners across the region.
“Over the summer months, they will be focusing on increasing engagement with our communities to listen and respond to their concerns. Residents and business owners will also see an increase in the visibility of officers and partners, as we work together to ensure a safe summer for all. This isn’t about trying to spoil people’s fun over the summer months, it is making sure everyone can enjoy themselves without feeling unsafe or being hurt.
“We welcome the Home Office initiative, which perfectly aligns to the neighbourhood policing model our force implemented locally two years ago. Safe4Summer is the perfect opportunity to highlight the strength of our partnerships in Greater Manchester, and our determination to minimise crime and disorder and to ensure Greater Manchester is a safer and more desirable place for all.”
TravelSafe Partnership Manager at Transport for Greater Manchester, Kate Green, said: “While the vast majority of people using the Bee Network do so safely and responsibly, we know that crime and anti-social behaviour increases over school holidays, and that is not something we will tolerate.
“We work hard every day to keep people safe, whether that’s through our engagement programme or the many proactive operations that take place. We will have an increased presence across the Bee Network to prevent and deter incidents, helping people to travel and enjoy their summer safely and with confidence.”
In 2023, Greater Manchester Police made a commitment that every district ward has a named local police officer, and we would keep communities informed through our use of the community messaging service, Bee in the Loop, which provides the latest news on events and incidents straight to your email inbox.
In April 2025, we welcomed the opportunity to further strengthen our neighbourhood offer, with an increase in numbers of neighbourhood officers by 176, to help GMP to continue to deliver in tackling crime and working with partners and communities to keep our streets safe.

Greater Manchester Officers are continuing to crack down on crime in Piccadilly Gardens, securing dozens of arrests and working with partners to reduce anti-social behaviour and drug use.
In their latest day of action, which was conducted on Wednesday 21 May, eight people were arrested as officers tackled issues that have been raised to them.
This included five arrests and charges for begging, in addition to those for public order offences, and being concerned in the supply of drugs.
More widely, the city centre neighbourhood team has continued to arrest those suspected of criminality whenever they can: 93 people have been arrested for a variety of offences in the area since the beginning of March. In that same period, 384 people have been stop-searched.
The positive work follows on from Operation Vulcan’s stint in the area, which has built strong foundations for the local neighbourhood team to act on.
While the area provides a unique challenge to officers, work with partners and local charities is ensuring that the appropriate actions are taken at the right time.
This includes engagement, support, and enforcement for those who commit crime. This approach sees vulnerable people signposted to the charities and services that can help them in their situation.
Wednesday saw much of this engagement work completed in conjunction with partners, who attended from a wide range of teams and bodies. This included representatives from the local council, immigration officials, charities, and a mobile paramedic.
Work will continue in the Piccadilly Gardens area, with a dedicated team overseeing its policing, backed up by response and specialist units where necessary.
Superintendent Nicola Williams, from the city centre team, said: “We are aware of the challenges that Piccadilly Gardens can present and through a comprehensive strategy of work with partners, we will continue tackling these issues as we build on strong foundations laid by the Operation Vulcan team.
“We have already seen so many arrests, charges, drugs seized, and more as we continue to take action in the area, ensuring criminals know that they simply cannot operate here.
“While we will continue with our enforcement work, liaising with partners where appropriate is a key part of our approach to Piccadilly Gardens – a joint-approach, measured, and with the right resources at the right time.
“If you are a resident, work in or near to the area, or pass through please do get in touch with the local team with any issues you may have. This could be via our local Coffee with a Cop meetings, the Piccadilly Ward PACT meeting or just chatting to an officer on the beat. All your information assists in our work.”
You should call 101, the national non-emergency number, to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response.
