POLICE in the North Bromsgrove area are clamping down on anti-social behaviour and have appealed for residents to help them along the way.
There are a number of anti-social behaviour acts being investigated and West Mercia Police want people to report incidents when they happen.
Among the incidents the police want to hear about are fireworks misuse, cars being abandoned, aggressive animals or the use of animals in illegal activities.
Other incidents of anti-social behaviour the police want to be informed about include nuisance noise from people being inconsiderate in a public space, indecent, threatening or offensive phone calls, street drinking causing disruptive behaviour and vehicle nuisance such as street racing and riding unlicensed powered vehicles.
Who to contact
At this time, the police also want people to be aware of what incidents should be reported to the local councils – either Bromsgrove District Council or Worcestershire County Council.
These incidents include cars blocking driveways, stray dogs (when not sick or injured), nuisance noise from pubs, clubs and construction sites and general littering and fly-tipping.
Neighbour disputes such as loud music or dogs barking, parking, property boundaries, overgrowing trees and hedges
Trespassing without causing damage or harm should also be reported to the local council.
Anyone who has an incident to report to the police can do so on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
In an emergency – or if a crime is happening – always call 999.
