ASB week of action
Last week, the Council’s Community Safety team, in partnership with the police, carried out a week-long initiative targeting anti-social behaviour (ASB) as part of our commitment to keeping Barnet safer, which involved joint patrols using our new CCTV van and hosting community safety pop-up hubs.
We encouraged residents to report breaches of Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs) and Immobilise, a valuable tool for protecting belongings against theft, increasing the likelihood of recovery. Outcomes from the week included:
✅ 175 new cases opened for investigation by the Community Safety Team.
✅ 104 fly-tips reported, investigated, and cleared by our Street Scene Team.
✅ 50 Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs) issued for ASB, environmental crimes, and PSPO violations.
✅ 6 PSPO breaches referred for prosecution
✅ 172 commercial waste audits completed to ensure businesses are waste management compliant.
Cllr Conway, Barnet Council’s lead on community safety, said: “Thanks so much to our dedicated community safety team for their hard work every week in all weathers tackling ASB, including working in partnership with local police. We really welcome the difference our ongoing investment in CCTV is making together with the continued impact of the Public Space Protection Order and the pop-up community safety hubs we put in place”.
