Tackling Slough anti-social behaviour together

The Department for Communities and Local Government (CLG) has organised a workshop with Slough Borough Council for residents to attend on anti-social behaviour (ASB).

The event, which will be held at Baylis House, Slough on March 23 from 10am to 2.15pm.

During the day, residents will be given advice and information on what they can do to try and help combat ASB and what the Slough council and police can do to help.

People 1st Slough will also be attending, as will community wardens, crime fighters, council officers and Thames Valley Police, who will be giving information out on the tools and powers we use to tackle anti social behaviour.

Kam Bhatti, neighbourhood crime and justice co-ordinator for Slough Borough Council, said: “We’re committed to ensuring residents of Slough can lead a safe and happy life and we realise the concerns some people may have about anti-social behaviour.

“This workshop will be the perfect opportunity for anyone wishing to gain more information on how to combat this and to give their views. Together we can stamp out anti-social behaviour.”

Commissioner for Slough neighbourhoods and renewal, Cllr James Swindlehurst, added: “Over the last two years we have made a concerted effort to tackle anti-social behaviour in Slough. We have installed over 20 new CCTV cameras in the last year, have funded community wardens to increase presence on our streets and have issued over 40 ASBO orders.

“Until residents feel that the threat to their neighbourhood from anti-social behaviour has disappeared, we still have work to do. We need to know the next areas to target, and where to focus our efforts in future so please let us know.”

For more information on this free event, please call Kam Bhatti on 01753 47 7376, or call 0845 680 9754, 9am to 6pm Monday to Friday to sign up for the event.
