More than 100 Penalty Charge Notices (PCN) were issued and several cars seized during a joint operation with Birmingham City Council.
The operation, which was held from 20 to 21 April, saw 36 PCNs issued on Alum Rock Road and 70 handed out on Ladypool Road over the two days.
Our officers also arrested a person for possession of an offensive weapon, seized seven cars and issued 17 section 59 notices to drivers, which means their car may be seized if driven in an anti-social manner in the future.
It’s after residents told us they were worried about illegal parking, anti-social driving, suspicious behaviour and litter in their area.
They reported car engines revving in the early hours and heavy traffic making it difficult for ambulances or fire engines to access particular areas.
Business owners also got in touch about frustrations around illegal traders popping up on the street causing them to lose business, with some reporting being threatened.
In response, officers worked with Birmingham City Council to address these concerns. Enforcement officers from the council spoke to business owners and took action where appropriate.
Officers from our Traffic unit joined with Parking Enforcement officers from the council to help keep traffic moving, clear pavements from illegal parking and deal with anti-social driving.
A total of 41 parking tickets were issued on Ladypool Road on Friday 21 April.
Disorder broke out on the Coventry Road in Small Heath during the holy month of Ramadan. Following this, police arrested six people in connection with the disorder and the council has been gathering intelligence on illegal traders operating on the road.
Temporary Chief Inspector Kelly Monaghan, Birmingham Local Policing Area, said: “Dealing with issues that affect our communities and businesses is a priority for us.
“We have taken action, but are aware questions have been raised by some local people around timings and longer-term solutions.
“We know that this issue is a long-term problem and we are listening to feedback from the community and assessing the best way to move forward for next year.
“We’ll continue to work with partner agencies and colleagues at the local authority to deal with these issues.
“We want to be clear that criminal behaviour won’t be tolerated. For those spoiling what was is supposed to be a time of worship and celebration, we will follow up on any offences committed.”
