Council and partners encourage victims of anti-social behaviour to report it
Cheshire West and Chester Council and its partners are encouraging victims of anti-social behaviour to report the problem, as they raise awareness of the issue during Anti-Social Behaviour Awareness Week 2022.
Running from 18 to 22 July, the event aims to encourage communities to take a stand against Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) and highlight the actions that can be taken by those experiencing it.
ASB is defined as behaviour which causes or is likely to cause harassment, alarm and/or distress to others. It can range from violence, threats or drug activity, to vandalism, youths congregating, litter or overgrown gardens.
If an immediate response is not needed, ASB can be reported on the Council's website:
To report a crime or ASB that needs an immediate response and is something that is happening at the time you are calling, you should contact Cheshire Police on 101 (Cheshire Police's non-emergency number). In emergencies only, dial 999.
