As a Councillor for Cheylesmore I focus on working with residents to tackle Anti Social Behaviour in the areas I cover which are Cheylesmore, Whitley & Stonehouse Estate. There are regular meetings between the Police and local councillors to discuss how we tackle these issues and I play an active part in the one for Cheylesmore.
Sadly none of the councillors for Stoke have volunteered to take part in this years I’m a Councillor, although Cllr Townshend (Councillor for Lower Stoke) did find time to give a quote to the press about it. Tackling Anti Social Behaviour falls under his Cabinet brief so you might want to e-mail him asking what he is doing on this issue. His e-mail address is Philip.Townshend@coventry.gov.uk You could also encourage him to take part in I’m a Councillor event next year so he can answer these questions directly.
It depends what type of anti-social behaviour it is, is it graffiti, vandalism, burglary? Whenever I’m made aware of anti-social behaviour taking place in a community by local residents, I contact the Police and neighbourhood wardens to ensure that they are regularly patrolling the area, but also to find out whose committing these offences of anti-social behaviour and take action against those people.
In the same way it is dealt with in any part of the city. It’s important people have things to d but it’s also important that the things they do do don’t encroach on others. There is no excuse for bad behaviour in any walk of life and those that do behave badly need to be dealt with. I know anti social behaviour can wreck lives and leave people at the end of their tether. That’s why I asked for better lighting in parks in Hillfields, CCTV and patrols by the police, wardens and Police Community Support Officers. I always ask the question: would you like some one you don’t know behaving badly round by you? I bet you’d answer NO!
I dio not represent Stoke, but it is the same everywhere. I am in constant touch with the Police (4 times today already) and am constantly warning residents about dangers.
Some young (and old) people are throwing their lives away. Where drugs are concerned, I should like to see a much more robust approach, but our Police do an excellent job given the present circumstances.
The way we deal with it in my ward is by getting the police, wardens and residents together, and the youth service, and try to 1. get action taken against the offenders, and 2. set up activities so that we try to divert people away from anti- social behaviour. But always we have to remember that one persons anti social behaviour is another persons game of football – young people on the street is not in itself a problem or a crime.
Ed’s right, you need to tell us where it is so we can get something done.
Probation service sometimes use offenders to clean up graffiti, in the hope that they learn not to do it, which I think is a good idea.
