Youth Anti-Social Behaviour

Anti-social behaviour involving young people continues to be reported in parts of Avonmouth and Shirehampton, particularly in public spaces such as parks, shopping areas and transport hubs. This can include nuisance behaviour, noise, intimidation and damage, and has a significant impact on the day-to-day lives of local residents and businesses.

  Your neighbourhood policing team will be taking action through increased high-visibility patrols in identified hotspot areas, particularly during peak times. We will engage with young people to prevent issues from escalating, while using enforcement powers where appropriate to deal with persistent offenders.

  We are also working closely with partner agencies, schools and youth services to address the root causes of this behaviour and provide longer-term solutions. We encourage the community to continue reporting incidents, as this helps us identify hotspots and take targeted action.
