Surrey Targets Anti-Social Behaviour

This coming Monday sees the start of Anti-Social Behaviour Awareness Week.

Members of Surrey Police, borough councils, Surrey County Council and housing providers will work together in an attempt to ensure issues affecting victims are dealt with.

The main aim is to help the perpetrators understand the impact of their actions on others and if mediation does not solve the issues then culprits could find themselves handed warning letters, fixed penalty notices and even prosecution.

During the week events will be taking place throughout Surrey ranging from a drop-in surgery in Dorking to active patrols in Redhill town centre and the launch of a youth engagement project.

A one-stop-shop Anti-Social Behaviour information website is now available at http://www.surreycommunitysafety.org.uk
