Police To Focus On Anti Social Behaviour In Towcester

POLICE and partners are ‘working for you’ in dealing with anti-social behaviour over the Easter holiday period.

POLICE and partners are ‘working for you’ in dealing with anti-social behaviour over the Easter holiday period.

The Force is running a campaign looking at areas of the county with problem anti-social behaviour issues, with supporting information signposting other agencies that can help deal with these issues.

Superintendent Richard James, the Force’s anti-social behaviour lead, said that a team approach to anti-social behaviour was very important.

“Anti-social behaviour affects all of our communities to a lesser and greater extent and it is important that we highlight any significant issues and who can help resolve them.

“The police can directly deal with most issues but there are some where other agencies would take the lead, for example local district councils would deal with littering and fly-tipping.

“In areas where there is little reported anti-social behaviour, the perception quite often is that there are more problems and issues that there actually are. In these areas, it is equally important that we talk to residents about their worries, tell them what issues there are and tell them what is being done about them.”

Postcards will soon be delivered to households in the county in areas where anti-social behaviour is being given priority by the local Safer Community Team.

The message is clear – anti-social behaviour may mean different things to different people but it doesn’t mean that this sort of behaviour is insignificant and cannot be addressed.

Twelve policing areas in Northamptonshire have been brought into focus and the postcards will tackle the following issues in these areas:-
