Newham Council has joined a national campaign to tackle Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) and keep people in Newham safe.
Newham Council Supports Anti-Social Behaviour Awareness Week 2024
Newham Council is proud to participate in the national Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Awareness Week 2024, a campaign dedicated to tackling ASB and ensuring the safety of our community. Taking place from November 18th to 23rd, the week encourages residents to take a stand against ASB and highlights the support available to those affected.
As part of the campaign, our Community Safety Enforcement Team (CSET) and Safer Neighbourhood Police Teams will conduct high-visibility patrols in targeted neighbourhoods and hotspot areas, engaging directly with residents.
Councillor Carleene Lee-Phakoe, Cabinet Member for Crime and Community Safety said:
“Reducing Anti-Social Behaviour is a priority for Newham Council and Newham’s Community Safety Partnership. ASB can arise in a variety of forms including neighbour disputes, noise nuisance and street drinking.
“Residents have highlighted the ongoing concern around these issues and the negative impact it has on their daily lives. Newham Council and its partners are committed to working in partnership to tackle ASB, taking a coordinated and intelligence led approach to deliver effective interventions.
“ASB awareness week is a great opportunity for us to engage with residents, hear their feedback and share with them what we are doing to reduce ASB in their neighbourhoods.”
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.
