Anti-social behaviour
What is anti-social behaviour Examples include:
Anti-social behaviour matters - it can have a negative effect on everyone's quality of life and we are committed to tackling it with all the powers at our disposal. Reporting anti-social behaviour
You can also contact the Council to deal with noise nuisance, graffiti, dumped rubbish and abandoned cars Anti-social behaviour in council blocks and estates What is the Anti-social Behaviour Unit? The ASBU is a central, independent specialist resource within the Environmental Services and Community Safety Division of the Technical Services Department. What do we do? There are all sorts of investigations that have to be carried out. These can take time and can involve using extra services to help those whose behaviour is putting them and the community at risk. We also work with the various youth services to give young people confidence, self respect and respect for other people, so they don't feel the need to congregate on street corners because they say there is nothing else to do. As a last resort, or if the problem is so serious, we will recommend or take court action ourselves to stop the offending behaviour. If an Anti Social Behaviour Order or injunction is granted and then breached, the penalties are severe and immediate.
What we don't do If we find out someone has reported issues which are untrue or malicious about an individual or a group of people, we will recommend or take action ourselves to stop it, as that behaviour is in itself anti-social. This may include prosecution through the courts, and appropriate publicity if found guilty. We are all entitled to live and work in Wandsworth in an environment without fear, or fear of crime and we in the ASBU are doing all we can to ensure anti-social behaviour is not tolerated and the proper action and enforcement is taken. |
