Anti-social behaviour initiatives
Anti-social behaviour is a priority issue for many residents and a small number of people can cause misery to a neighbourhood. That is why Salford’s crime prevention partners have introduced a number of initiatives to deal with anti-social behaviour and its causes.
Some of the actions include:
- Additional support for families at risk of losing their tenancy due to anti-social behaviour through an Assisted Families Project (ASSFAM).
- A new focus on social landlords and their responsibilities in dealing with anti-social tenants through the Standard for Housing Management.
- A renewed commitment to the proportionate use of enforcement tools and powers in tackling anti-social behaviour.
- Responding to problems that are highlighted by members of the community (for example, off-road vehicle nuisance).
- Responding to seasonal problems (such as the misuse of fireworks, tackled by Operation Treacle).
- Dispersal orders in key areas of the city, giving the police powers to tackle groups causing a nuisance.
- An alcohol exclusion zone covering most of the city giving the police powers to seize alcohol from troublemakers and underage drinkers.
- Preventing juvenile nuisance by targeting groups of young people on weekends.
