Antisocial behaviour in the borough
We are working to reduce antisocial behaviour and have set up the Community Antisocial Behaviour Action Team (CASBAT) to coordinate and monitor action on antisocial behaviour across the borough.
The CASBAT is made up of police officers and council staff, and works alongside 18 Safer Neighbourhood Teams in the borough to deal with the issues identified by the agencies or residents.

Aims of the Community Antisocial Behaviour Action Team
Our aims are:
- to reduce antisocial behaviour and crime in the borough
-
to protect communities from the effects of antisocial behaviour
- to ensure a coordinated approach to tackling antisocial behaviour in the borough
- to share best practice between partnership agencies in the borough;
- to work with partner agencies wherever possible, to rehabilitate offenders

The CASBAT provides the link between Council Departments, Youth Offending Teams, Social Services, Housing Providers and Registered Social Landlords, and oversees applications for Acceptable Behaviour Agreements, Antisocial Behaviour Orders and Closure Orders.
