Housing association backs national crackdown on anti-social behaviour
A housing association is backing a national crackdown on anti-social behaviour.
Castles & Coasts Housing Association (CCHA) will mark Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Awareness Week 2025, from June 30 to July 6.
This will be done by bringing in agencies, including the police, during estate walkabouts in 12 towns and villages across Cumbria and the North East.
CCHA staff will hand out leaflets to residents informing them of how to report ASB.
The walkabouts will take place on their properties in Penrith, Harriston, Carlisle, Cockermouth, Kendal, Washington, Cramlington, Longframlington, Workington, Temple Sowerby, Hetton Le Hole and Maryport.
Anna Bates, head of housing at CCHA, said: 'Everyone deserves to feel safe in their home and in their local community. ASB can really blight neighbourhoods, so we're committed to working with our partners, residents and our local communities to tackle it.
"ASB Awareness Week is a chance to raise awareness, support victims, and build stronger partnerships to prevent anti-social behaviour before it escalates."
