BROMSGROVE COMMUNITY SAFETY
PARTNERSHIP
Taking Action
Against Anti Social Behaviour
Anti-social behaviour (ASB) can be a real problem for
some communities and Bromsgrove Community
Safety Partnership is committed to tackling ASB
and helping the residents of Bromsgrove to feel safe.
What Can We Do?
Tackling ASB effectively requires many local
agencies to work together and Bromsgrove Community Safety
Partnership enables Council Departments, Police, Housing
Associations, Youth Offending Teams (YOTs), the Fire Service and
other organisations to work effectively to reduce and prevent
ASB.
When Anti-Social Behaviour happens, Bromsgrove
Community Safety Partnership organisations can help. We can use a
range of tools and powers to tackle ASB and will take enforcement
powers to stop it. This is why, when we receive complaints of ASB,
we ask people to record what they see, when they see it, who they
see and where they see it. This information is vital. By taking a
stand against ASB, together we can stop it.
In addition to responding to complaints of
ASB, our Partnership organisations also spend a lot of time out in
the community. This allows us to identify emerging problems,
understand our communities’ needs and provide re-assurance that
issues are being dealt with.
We all want our neighbourhoods to be free from
ASB and when ASB happens, we all want it dealt with so that people
can feel safe.
What Can You Do?
We can only take action against ASB if we're
aware it is happening. If you do experience ASB it is important you
report it; don't rely on someone else. We would rather have 10
people call us about the same incident than no calls at all. We can
only take action when issues are reported.
If you are experiencing ASB it is important
you report it and when you do, there are Minimum Standards you can expect from our
organisations when dealing with your issues.
