Jan Mielniczek, the City Council’s Antisocial Behaviour Manager and PC Woodfield from our new neighbourhood police team came to talk to us. Ms Mielniczek said the great advantage of Antisocial Behaviour Orders (ASBOs) was the lower standard of proof required. Some children were now very wise to the difficulties of prosecuting them. Even anonymous information would be useful, anything which would help to identify the culprit. The Dispersal Order in force around Alldays in Bassett Green Road is for a trial period until next February.
In the next Newsletter we hope to have an item by PC Woodfield on local policing.
Remember to report all incidents to the police on 0845 045 4545 or the Anti-social Behaviour Team on 0845 605 2222.
