🚔 STOP ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR 🚔

🏡 Working Together for Safer Communities

Anti-social behaviour (ASB) affects everyone. It can make people feel unsafe, frightened, and unable to enjoy their homes, neighbourhoods, parks, and public spaces. By working together, we can help keep our communities safe, welcoming, and respectful for everyone.

🚫 What is Anti-Social Behaviour?

Anti-social behaviour is any behaviour that causes harassment, alarm, or distress to other people. It includes:

🔊 Loud music, shouting, or persistent noise nuisance.

🎨 Graffiti, vandalism, or criminal damage to buildings, parks, and public property.

🗑️ Littering, fly-tipping, and environmental damage.

🚗 Dangerous driving, illegal street racing, speeding, or the misuse of cars, motorcycles, and off-road bikes.

👥 Threatening behaviour, intimidation, harassment, bullying, or verbal abuse.

🍺 Alcohol or drug-related nuisance in public places.

🎆 Misuse of fireworks or setting fires that put people or property at risk.

🐕 Allowing dogs to behave aggressively.

⚠️ The Impact

Anti-social behaviour can:

🏠 Make residents feel unsafe in their own homes.

😟 Cause fear, anxiety, and distress.

💷 Cost thousands of pounds to repair damaged property.

🌳 Damage parks, playgrounds, and community facilities.

🤝 Reduce community pride and make neighbourhoods less enjoyable for everyone.
