Anti-social behaviour impacting local residents

We have been receiving frequent reports about an increase in anti-social behaviour in our area. Anti-social behaviour (ASB) is the term given to behaviours and activities which cause harm or distress to an individual, community or neighbourhood. Neighbourhoods can be an area where you live, work, or visit often

Patrols will be increased in the areas we are receiving reports from and those found to be involved will be referred to our anti-social behaviour team

Anti-social behaviour can have a detrimental effect on communities, we encourage residents to report any problems they are having via 999 for emergencies, 101 for non-emergencies or via our website.

  Wincanton Neighbourhood Team will be conducting patrols around planned areas where we are receiving reports and intelligence of ASB.

  If you believe your local area is subject to ASB we highly encourage this to be reported so that we can get a better understanding of what is happening in your area.

  We will utilise ASB tools to reduce and stop the problem.
