How can we tackle anti-social behaviour?

A smashed door next to the County Views logo

In our latest County Views survey, we're asking about your experiences of anti-social behaviour.

This year we invested an extra £1m to help tackle anti-social behaviour in communities across Lincolnshire. To help us make sure we’re using that funding to best address your biggest concerns, we want to know:

  • how much anti-social behaviour affects you;
  • what types of anti-social behaviour worry you the most;
  • where you see anti-social behaviour taking place within your community, and;
  • what you think would help to stop people engaging in anti-social behaviour.

The County Views surveys – which we run three times a year – also ask a few general questions about your experiences of our council, to help us get a snapshot of how we’re doing and improve our services for residents.

Cllr Mrs Patricia Bradwell, executive member for community safety at Lincolnshire County Council, said:

“No-one should be made to feel distressed or intimidated in their own community, and that’s exactly what anti-social behaviour can do.

“With so many behaviours constituting anti-social behaviour – including littering and noise nuisance to more severe crime such as vandalism, intimidation and arson – it’s so important for us to understand what is affecting residents the most.

“Your feedback will help us target our work with partners to effectively tackle anti-social behaviour and protect victims.”

Paper copies of the survey can also be found in the latest edition of County News, which is delivered to homes and businesses across the county and available in Lincolnshire’s libraries. Completed paper copies can be returned to us via the freepost address listed in County News.

The County Views summer survey on anti-social behaviour will close on 16 September 2024. View previous County Views survey reports at www.letstalk.lincolnshire.gov.uk/hub-page/county-views.
