Anti-social behaviour – don’t just live with it – REPORT IT

Are you affected by anti-social behaviour? A leaflet with details of the main agencies who might be able to help you was delivered to all homes in Brickhill with the June edition of the Brickhill Parish Council newsletter. To download a copy click here.

This leaflet was produced after a meeting in May with representatives from Brickhill Parish Council (councillors and clerk), Bedford Borough Council (councillors, Environmental Health, Trading Standards), Bedfordshire Police, bpha, and Places for People. The meeting was called because of concerns about anti-social behaviour in some parts of Brickhill. One of the results of the meeting was the decision to quickly produce and circulate the information leaflet, so residents would be better informed about actions that they could take.
