To tackle anti-social behaviour it is really important that we all work together.
It also helps to know your rights. For example, thanks to Heathrow Airport campaigners the European Courts have confirmed British residents have the "right to sleep".
It is the responsibility of your local authority i.e. South Kesteven District Council Environmental Health Team to protect you from persistent noise/anti social behaviour that affect you.
There is also an overlap in responsibility with many anti-social behaviour activities also being criminal activities. All criminal activities can also be tackled by the police who have increasing powers to act in this area. This is especially applicable for anti-social behaviour involving vehicles where recent changes in the law give the police the power to confiscate vehicles after a second warning BUT the officer must catch the person in the act to deliver the warning.
What you can do
Please report all anti-social behavioural activities and crimes.
Be persistent.
Don't give up.
If you feel you are not being taken seriously by any authorised body - police or council officials please let me know charmaine725@btinternet.com or call me on 01476 574748.
