Anti-Social Behaviour
Action taken:
Anti-social behaviour has been raised as a concern in your area by local residents. ASB is any type of behaviour that can cause Harassment, Alarm or Distress. We understand the negative impact this can have on day to day living if you are effected by this.
In response to ASB, The local Neighbourhood Teams across West Lancashire have been taking part in Operation-Alvern. This is our dedicated operation to tackling ASB by taking robust action and working with our partner agencies to divert those partaking in ASB to other positive activities. During this operation, we have issued a number of Civil Orders to those identified as taking part or encouraging ASB. These Civil Orders have included Acceptable Behaviour Contracts and Community Protection Warnings. These orders are civil as the name suggests, however, they give officers the ability to warn offenders about their behaviour in a recorded way before any further action is taken. This also allows us to work with partner agencies, such as housing, to look at cancelling tenancy agreements if tennants are bringing ASB or criminality to their local community.
