Antisocial behaviour (ASB) can have a very disruptive effect on neighbourhoods and communities. Not only does it affect those who are directly involved in the situation, ASB can have a much wider impact on the community.

As part of our ongoing commitment to keeping communities safe, our estate management teams regularly engage in community visits to neighbourhoods with partner agencies such as the Police and Wakefield Council to reassure residents and talk about any concerns they may have.

WDH never underestimates the harm antisocial (ASB) or nuisance behaviour can cause and how simple every day activities such as going to the shops or visiting family who may live nearby can become very difficult - especially if people are fearful of intimidation or targeted behaviour from others.

It is antisocial behaviour (ASB) awareness week, and WDH are highlighting the importance of being a good neighbour, being kind and being respectful.

We work closely with our partner agencies such as the Police and Wakefield Council to help tackle antisocial (ASB) and criminal behaviour. This is a very important part of our work in creating confident communities for our customers.

This week is antisocial behaviour (ASB) awareness week organised by RESOLVE and to support this the Community Safety team will be posting information, advice, and focal points of the work the team do throughout the week. Starting with dealing with crime prevention.
