The local ward team will triage allegations of ASB in the community which are reported to police. Persons identified as causing ASB will be engaged with and where the evidence supports, issued with prohibitions under community protection legislation to address these behaviours

The ward team are actively involved in reducing ASB as part of our core duties and therefore with some intensification, this should be achievable

The Local team will prioritise more engagement with our community and specifically in how to report crime or Anti Social Behaviour
With a new Communication Tool being introduced on June 25th named MET-ENGAGE
This will enable us to maximise our reach to our ward members about ways we can communicate to them

There is a larger fear or crime than actual crime and we will aim to reduce this
