Warwickshire Community Safety partners show support for ASB Awareness Week 2022  

Community Safety partners have joined a national campaign to tackle anti-social behaviour (ASB) and keep people in Warwickshire safe. 

Running from July 18 to 22, ASB Awareness Week 2022 aims to encourage communities to take a stand against ASB and highlight the actions that can be taken by those experiencing it.  

Organised by Resolve, the UK’s leading ASB and community safety organisation, the week features a series of events all across the UK involving Councils, Police Forces, Housing Associations, charities, community groups and sports clubs. 

Recent YouGov research commissioned by Resolve found that more than half of people (56%) believe that ‘more needs to be done’ to tackle ASB in their community. However, after they witnessed or experienced ASB, a similar proportion of the public (57%) said that they did not report it to anyone.  

Community Safety Partnerships across Warwickshire are urging members of the public not to suffer in silence if they experience ASB. Incidents can be reported to the anti-social behaviour team at the local Council, or to the Police if people feel that they are at immediate risk or in danger. 

Activity taking place throughout the week include: 

• A number of engagement events have been organised and planned throughout the week to take queries from residents and businesses in relation to crime and anti-social behaviour and provide information on ways of reporting to relevant partners. 

• Warwickshire Police Safer Neighbourhood Teams will deploy patrols to ASB hotspot areas across the county. 

• Engagement with schools to deliver talks to pupils about the impact and consequences of anti-social behaviour in local communities. 

• Joint activities across town centres addressing issues of ASB including street drinking and begging.
