It’s ASB Awareness Week 2022
Running from July 18 to 22, ASB Awareness Week 2022 aims to encourage communities to take a stand against ASB and highlight the actions that can be taken by those experiencing it.
Organised by Resolve, the UK’s leading ASB and community safety organisation, the week features a series of events all across the UK involving Councils, Police Forces, Housing Associations, charities, community groups and sports clubs.
Recent YouGov research commissioned by Resolve found that more than half of people (56%) believe that ‘more needs to be done’ to tackle ASB in their community. However, after they witnessed or experienced ASB, a similar proportion of the public (57%) said that they did not report it to anyone.
We do not want you to suffer in silence if you experience ASB. Incidents can be reported directly to our Housing Community Safety team by emailing antisocialbehaviour@seh.southend.gov.uk or filling out this form. You can also call the contact centre on 0800 833 160.
Rebecca Bryant OBE, Chief Executive of Resolve adds:
“ASB is not low-level crime. It can have a long-lasting impact on the lives of victims and communities and can be a precursor to more serious crime.
“It is important that the challenge of ASB continues to be given the priority it needs so that people everywhere feel safe in their homes and communities.
“It is vital to develop partnership approaches across communities to deal with the growing challenges around ASB.”
