Hunslet and Riverside Ward Areas

• Engage with and deter those involved in street-based misuse of drugs & alcohol and the antisocial behaviour linked to begging and rough sleeping. We will do this by targeting patrols in areas highlighted as hotspots for street-based antisocial behaviour.  We will work with partner agencies to use Anti-Social Behaviour legislation where appropriate to prevent offenders returning to the same streets to commit offences.  We will work in partnership with Safer Leeds Street Support Team to provide support and guidance to those living street-based lives, utilising appropriate legislation where necessary.
   
• To address reports of anti-social behaviour and reports of theft from shop. We will conduct targeted high visibility patrols across the wards with an aim to reduce reports of anti-social behaviour and theft from shop. We will work closely with Leeds City Council Youth Services, Leeds Anti-Social Behaviour Team and Housing focusing on joint and smart approaches for more long-term interventions such as restorative work for young people and enforcement action for those involved in Theft from Shop. This approach includes increased referrals to signpost for support, identification of the best agency to take the lead with young people, and use of housing and tenancy enforcement action, against parents who fail in their responsibility to keep the young people behaving in an acceptable manner. In addition, we will take enforcement action against those identified as being involved in theft offences.
