What is anti social behaviour?

  • Graffiti
  • Litter
  • Fly tipping
  • Noise nuisance
  • Hoax calls
  • Animal related problems
  • Rowdy and nuisance behaviour
  • Abandoned cars
  • Begging
  • Intimidation or harassment
  • Sexual acts
  • Vandalism

North Warwickshire Community Safety Partnership is committed to reducing anti-social behaviour in its communities by following a problem solving approach and through supporting

Anti-social behaviour is one of the partnerships key priority areas for 2018-19 with a specific focus on;

  • Personal anti-social behaviour
  • Nuisance anti-social behaviour
  • Environmental anti-social behaviour

The partnership addresses anti-social behaviour through its delivery plan and through joint work on Safer Neighbourhoods. Anti-social behaviour problems can be nominated, by the public, as a community priority, as part of the Safer Neighbourhood updates and setting community priorities items. Once nominated as a priority, multi-agency meetings are often organised to develop an area or problem specific action plan and an information leaflet for local residents is distributed.
