Anti-Social Behaviour/Fireworks

Anti-Social Behaviour/Fireworks

I wanted to provide you with an update regarding ASB, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey.

Ballymena Police received a number of reports over the weekend of Anti-Social Behaviour and the use of fireworks in and around Dunclug. Enquiries into the incidents are ongoing. Please report any issues to PSNI. Neighbourhood Police Officers have delivered talks on these matters to schools in the area over the past few weeks in the area though a small minority appear to have ignored any advice and guidance given.

Tackling antisocial behaviour can be a complex issue, and one which requires input and action from more than just the police.

ASB encompasses various forms of disruptive conduct, including:

• Excessive noise
• Graffiti
• Littering
• Neighbour disputes

While these behaviours may not be classified as criminal offences, they can significantly impact the quality of life for individuals and communities. If you encounter any instances of anti-social behaviour, it is crucial to report them promptly to prevent the situation from escalating. 

Local councils, the Housing Executive, housing associations, private landlords and police are responsible for dealing with different types of anti-social behaviour. Learn who to contact regarding specific types of non-criminal anti-social behaviour on NI Directs Website
