Sussex Police, in a collaborative effort with British Transport Police, Southern Rail, and local entities including schools and businesses like Tesco and Co-op, have intensified their measures against rising youth crime and anti-social behaviour in the Barnham and Yapton areas. The initiative, dubbed Operation Precinct, was launched in February following growing concerns within the community.

In a proactive move, a public meeting was convened on April 4 at Barnham Community Hall, where residents voiced their concerns and discussed strategies to enhance local safety. The dialogue led to a commitment to deploy additional security measures, including increased patrols by the British Transport Police and further engagement with Arun District Council and the Safer Arun Partnership.
