Community Safety Team
Ards and North Down Borough Council's Community Safety Team works to make our borough a safer place to live by tackling anti-social behaviour.
What is anti-social behaviour?
Anti-social behaviour is acting in a way that causes alarm or distress to people in our community. Ards and North Down Community Safety Team deals with different problems:
- noisy behaviour in the street
- damage to property
- off-road nuisance caused by vehicles
- nuisance behaviour at events
Our work includes:
- conducting regular patrols of reported 'hotspots' for anti-social behaviour to deter, detect and report incidents using available resources, in line with the council's enforcement policy
- working alongside local people and groups to develop community-led solutions to anti-social behaviour
- working with other relevant organisations, such as the police, schools, and community organisations to develop area specific plans to tackle anti-social behaviour
- running youth and adult education programmes for schools and community groups to highlight community safety issues
- providing youth diversionary activities to help prevent anti-social behaviour
We want to make Ards and North Down a safer place to live, work and visit. We want to ensure our team takes action that is effective, proportionate and achievable.
