Residents in Beeston and across Nottinghamshire now have a new way to help clean up their communities following the launch of a revamped reporting website by the Nottinghamshire Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner on 12 May 2026. The online tool allows locals to report graffiti, litter, and fly-tipping directly, ensuring these problem areas can be targeted by community payback schemes.
The service uses FixMyStreet Pro technology from SocietyWorks and was redesigned by Rinato Media. Residents can use the website to upload photos and pinpoint the exact location of environmental issues on an interactive map. Once a report is submitted, it is reviewed by the Immediate Justice team to be incorporated into local clean-up operations. To ensure the response is swift, offenders assigned to the scheme are required to complete the necessary repairs or cleaning within 48 hours of the police completing the referral to the service.
Superintendent Chris Pearson, who leads on Immediate Justice delivery for Nottinghamshire Police, noted that the initiative aims to provide visible consequences for anti-social behaviour while improving local neighbourhoods. Offenders carrying out this work are supervised by Red Snapper Managed Services. Since the programme first launched in January 2024, it has exceeded 1,700 referrals, with offenders completing hundreds of hours of work including deep cleans, litter picking, and graffiti removal.
Commissioner Godden highlighted that the tool directly addresses feedback from the public, who have repeatedly called for more visible action against anti-social behaviour. Beyond addressing local environmental neglect, a comparison study found that service users were 22.5% less likely to re-offend compared to those who received traditional out-of-court disposals. In parts of the city centre, these reports will also support Operation Reclaim, which focuses on maintaining safe public spaces through high-visibility patrols.
The new reporting portal is available now for any resident looking to flag issues in their local area, including those in the Broxtowe district. For ongoing neighbourhood concerns in areas like Beeston, these reports complement the existing work of local policing teams and multi-agency meetings involving the Broxtowe Borough Council.
