A new and improved service for people to report anti-social behaviour has been launched in Bolton. Click here to view Poster
The Be Safe Partnership has reviewed the way it deals with incidents of anti-social behaviour by speaking to those who have experienced it first hand. Around 2,000 questionnaires were issued earlier this year, asking people their views on the way incidents are reported and the subsequent service they received. As a result, a new set of service standards for anti-social behaviour has now been developed.
The partnership is also re-launching the former It's Your Call telephone line under the banner of the Anti-Social Behaviour Reporting Line (01204 336500), where people can report incidents or leave a message if it is out of office hours. A dedicated website has also been set up so people can report anti-social behaviour online at www.besafebolton.org.uk/asb
Anti-social behaviour officers will respond to messages within three working days. However, in an emergency people should contact 999 for a police response. The dedicated phone line is for residents who own their home or rent their property from a private landlord. Tenants of Bolton at Home and housing associations, such as Contour, Great Places and St Vincent's, should contact their housing provider. * * * * *
