Responding to increased anti-social behaviour in the Parish

East Bedlington Parish Council are aware of the recent escalation of youth related Anti-Social Behaviour which has led to damage to public play areas, public open space and retail properties.  We are acutely aware of the distress this is causing in our community.  We are working behind the scenes with our County Councillors, the Police, NCC, neighbouring Parish Councils, traders and residents who  have come forward and want to be part of the solution.  We will be bringing together a multi-agency panel to address the current issues and pull together measures aimed at restoring harmony in our communities.

How can you help?

• Please report every incident to the Police, if it is happening now and likely to endanger life or property  use 999 otherwise use 101 and website https://beta.northumbria.police.uk/.  You can also report incidents anonymously using Crimestoppers - https://crimestoppers-uk.org/give-information/forms/pre-form
• Send your concerns to the Parish Council Office: email clerk@eastbedlingtonpc.org.uk or ring us on 01670 828808 ext 1.  We will treat your information confidentially and it will help us build up a picture of specific problems in each area of our Parish.
