Anti-social behaviour

Dear Resident,

The local safer neighbourhood team are aware that anti-social behaviour is a top priority within the area and they have been informed of some ongoing problematic locations such as Ellesmere town, Criftins and Cockshutt.

Tackling antisocial behaviour can be a complex issue, and one which requires input and action from more than just the police.

The Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 aims to put victims first, giving power to local people and enabling professionals to find the best solutions for their local area.

The act provides the police, local authorities and other local agencies with flexible tools and powers that they can use to respond quickly and effectively to antisocial behaviour.

These include:

The act also includes measures such as the Community Remedy and antisocial behaviour case reviews which empower victims and communities to have a say in the outcome of their reports and hold agencies to account.

We hope the information above is useful and addresses to some degree the concerns that you have raised. If you have experienced this issue or have information regarding an incident, please report it using our online reporting tools at https://www.westmercia.police.uk, speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat or call the non-emergency number 101.

Alternatively, you can stay 100 per cent anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their untraceable online form at crimestoppers-uk.org.

Could I also take this opportunity to ask you to please complete the surveys that are sent out via email and those found within neighbourhood matters. Completing these surveys helps us to understand what issues are having an impact within the local communities.

Below is a QR code for an antisocial behaviour survey should you wish to complete one.

We will continue to provide you with updates regarding this and any other issues you raise in the local priority survey. 

You may also want to rate this message to let us know if this information was useful or not or use the system to change which issues we update you about. You can do these things quickly and easily by logging in or keep an eye out for the periodic survey reminders.
