Anti-Social Behaviour Crackdown: Warnings and Enforcement Actions Implemented

Individuals identified as engaging in anti-social behaviour in a seaside town have received warning letters as part of an enforcement initiative. Personnel from East Riding of Yorkshire Council have been present in Bridlington with the objective of increasing public awareness and decreasing the frequency of such incidents. Local residents have also been surveyed regarding the impact of anti-social behaviour on their lives and have been urged to report any observed occurrences. Councillor Lyn Healing, who serves as the cabinet member for communities and public protection, stated: “We’re dedicated to ensuring that the East Riding is a good place to live and taking firm action against anti-social behaviour.” Furthermore, the council indicated that measures are being implemented following reports of horses being unlawfully tethered in designated play parks. In collaboration with Humberside Police, the council has also secured closure orders for specific properties within the town that have been sites of ongoing and disruptive anti-social behaviour. Consequently, entry to these premises is prohibited for a period of three months, with exceptions only for officers from the council, police, other emergency services, or utility providers. These initiatives form part of the council’s anti-social behaviour awareness week, which features various events scheduled throughout the region.
