Anti-social behaviour strategy

Achieve communities where people feel safe through preventing anti-social behaviour and taking action that is proportionate and timely

Prevention is crucial to developing safe and sustainable communities and early intervention can prevent ASB from escalating. We will:

• Work with partners under the Community Safety Partnership to develop and support community-led preventative and diversionary activities, especially in response to youth ASB.
• Reduce the opportunity for crime and ASB by being proactive with mobile patrols, participating in Community Involvement Days (CID), targeting hotspots areas with the PSPO and making use of CCTV.
• Refer to a Mediation service to assist with neighbour disputes.
• Engage with residents in a meaningful and consistent way to re-enforce responsible behaviour and take prompt and effective action where necessary.
• Engage meaningfully with partners and the community to address Borough wide youth ASB, designing out areas to prevent incidents reoccurring and taking appropriate enforcement action when necessary.
