Anti-Social Behaviour – Banwell

We have recently received multiple reports of anti‑social behaviour (ASB) in and around Banwell. This behaviour has caused concern among residents and local businesses, and we want to reassure the community that it is being taken seriously.

In response, officers will be conducting increased high‑visibility patrols in the area. We are actively engaging with residents, local groups, and businesses to gather information and identify those responsible.

Once individuals are identified, we will consider all available options, including the use of ASB legislation and enforcement powers, or the progression of criminal investigations where offences are committed.

We encourage anyone affected by anti‑social behaviour, or who has information that may assist our enquiries, to report it via 101, through our online reporting services, or anonymously via Crimestoppers.
