Anti-social behaviour strategy

Commitment Four

Identify improvements in our partnership response to the increasing demand of individuals with substance misuse issues, serious mental health problems/complex needs and dual diagnosis.

  • Maintain the Public Spaces Protection Order in Hatfield Town Centre to tackle the impact that street drinking and drug taking has on visitors, residents and traders.
  • Continue to engage with agencies who provide outreach and a supportive approach to engagement with and improve outcomes for high impact abusers of drugs and alcohol.
  • Make use of our powers to enforce Closure Orders on premises that are being used to deal drugs and where neighbours are experiencing the effects of associated crime and ASB.
  • Focus on disrupting ‘County Lines’, ‘cuckooing’, and associated serious violence and criminality within the CSP by joint working with ‘Operation Scorpion’ and ‘Community Safety Units’.
