3. Reporting Anti-social behaviour
The 3 issues causing greatest concern in the city centre are drunken people causing a nuisance, aggressive begging and rubbish or litter lying about.
The antisocial behaviour action team meets on a monthly basis to consider cases of:
- individuals causing problems
- locations where there are current problems
- types of antisocial behaviour
Agencies have signed up to the police escalation process, which involves warning letters, Acceptable Behaviour Contracts (ABCs) and then Criminal Behaviour Orders (CBOs).
Reporting incidents
As with all areas of the city, where issues arise between scheduled visits by street cleansing officers, these can be reported directly through the council’s online reporting tools. We encourage residents and businesses to do, this ensures that any emerging concerns can be logged, triaged, and responded to as efficiently as possible:
There are police channels, where incidents can be reported. Reporting incidents ensures they are logged and provide data that is an accurate representation of crime trends and patterns.
