Vision: To create neighbourhoods that are increasingly safer places to be, where people feel respected and where local agencies and communities come together to tackle anti social behaviour by working in partnership and building confidence in communities.
Principles: Effective action on ASB demands a balance between rigorous enforcement and prevention work. Victims of Anti-Social Behaviour should be supported and responded to effectively. Whilst committed to taking tough action, interventions should be based on the approach of minimal intrusion and should be commensurate with the seriousness of the offences. A formal problem-solving approach in tackling Anti-Social Behaviour will be supported.
Principles: Remedies for ASB must promote long-term social inclusion and community cohesion. Measures to tackle ASB must be consistent with relevant legislation. The borough’s approach to Anti-Social Behaviour should be supported by a clear commitment to reliable and transparent communications. Communities and individual members of the public should be engaged to play an active and valued role in making Bromley safer.
