POLICE in part of Bradford have reviewed their neighbourhood priorities - with a strong focus on tackling drug dealing and anti-social behaviour.
Officers who cover Heaton and the surrounding area are also keen to crack down on poor parking outside schools and to target dangerous drivers.
In an update on the My Neighbourhood section of the police website, officers also gave details of three recent arrests.
Much of the police attention has focused on the B6144 Haworth Road area, with residents having raised numerous concerns.
A spkesperson said the public had told police about "drug dealing and anti-social behaviour on Haworth Road."
In response, police said they carried out "proactive hotspot patrols targeting Haworth Road."
On Day One of the patrols, a suspect was arrested for possession with intent to supply drugs.
On day two, there were two further arrests on suspcion of the same offence, with an investigation still ongoing and drugs seized.
Local officers were also involved in an incident in which a vehicle suspected to be linked to drugs supply failed to stop for police. An investigation took place to identify the driver and vehicle, with the vehicle later located and seized.
"We will continue with our hotspot patrols targeting this location," police added.
In other news, officers in the area said they were involved in "partnership working with local authority regarding school parking concerns on Haworth Road, Bingley Road and surrounding streets aiming for a sustainable solution."
Similar work is ongoing with the Casualty Reduction Partnership regarding mobile speed camera patrols.
