This week in Liverpool, a co-ordinated campaign is being launched to address anti-social behaviour (ASB) and promote community wellbeing. ASB Awareness Week will see Liverpool City Council joining forces with Merseyside Police, Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service, and local housing associations to raise awareness about the need to combat distressing and nuisance behaviours. Led by Resolve, the UK’s leading organization for community safety and ASB, the national campaign runs from June 30 to July 6 and is supported by the Local Government Association, National Fire Chiefs’ Council, and the National Police Chiefs’ Council.
The focus of ASB Awareness Week is to shed light on the impact of anti-social behaviour, provide information about available support for those affected, and encourage collaborative efforts from organizations and communities. Throughout the week, residents are encouraged to play an active role in addressing ASB and to report behavior that causes harm or distress. Council teams and partner organizations will host 20 events across the city, engaging directly with residents and businesses to offer guidance on whom to contact when facing concerns about ASB.
In addition to engaging with the community, youth-focused charities will participate in the campaign by discussing the consequences of ASB with young people and promoting positive alternatives through local programs and activities. Housing associations will provide drop-in advice sessions and residents can connect with key teams face-to-face at an information stand at Speke Morrisons on July 3. The week will conclude with a fire safety campaign hosted by Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service, focusing on safety when holding BBQs in public during the summer months.
It is crucial to acknowledge the ongoing efforts of the Council and its partners in preventing and responding to ASB. Research indicates that nearly one in five people have considered moving homes due to ASB, yet more than half of those affected choose not to report it. If you witness ASB, report it to your local neighborhood police officer, the Council website, or anonymously through Crimestoppers. By working together and utilizing available resources, we can address ASB and ensure safety and well-being in our communities
