Making communities safer
No matter where you live, the way your neighbours behave can make a big difference to how happy you are in your home.
Taking place from the 18th to the 24th November, Antisocial Behaviour Awareness Week is an annual event organised by RESOLVE UK that aims to tackle antisocial behaviour (ASB) and promote safer communities across the UK.
What is antisocial behaviour?
The types of incidents that we consider to be ASB include (but are not limited to):
- Persistent and excessively loud noise
- Assault or physical violence
- Aggressive or threatening language or behaviour
- Harassment
- Domestic abuse
- Racist or homophobic abuse or graffiti
- Drug dealing
- Hate crime (harassing someone because of their race, nationality, sexuality, gender, religion, disability or age)
What are we doing to tackle antisocial behaviour?
We take reports of ASB very seriously and work closely with local partners to take the steps needed to protect our customers quickly and efficiently.
To tackle ASB we work closely with local police and other external agencies throughout the year and attend action days in hot spot areas. During Antisocial Behaviour Awareness Week, we’ve also hosted a series of events across our neighbourhoods.
