Antisocial Behaviour
You Said - We Did
When residents tell us about things that could be improved we make changes to improve. Below are detailed examples of what residents said and how we responded:
| Comment |
Action Taken |
| Remove fly tipping as quickly as possible |
On average we remove fly tipping in less than half a day of it being reported to us |

We have worked with 227 young people at hotspots in the Borough to divert them away from crime and anti social behaviour. The Council also runs playschemes through the school holidays. Visit Playschemes and Sports Schemes to find out more |

| There is too much violence in the town centre at the weekend |
Violence in the town centre has been reduced by 153 crimes over a five year period, a 33% reduction, as a result of closer working between publicans, and their organisation, Pubwatch, the taxi trade, the Council, Police and Chamber of Trade. A variety of schemes to ban people from pubs or from town, prevent violence on the street and in pubs, detect drugs misuse and control sales of alcohol are in place, including: Most licensed premises in Kettering Town Centre are now members of the Pubwatch Scheme. Pubwatch initiatives include the introduction of polycarbonate replacement glases and body worn video cameras for door supervisors |

In the Borough we marked property with forensic coding in 577 homes as a deterrent against burglary |

To prevent repeat burglaries security has been upgraded in 122 homes and 8 alleyways have been gated in the Borough |
| People don't have to pay for their crimes |
Through funding secured from the Community Cashback Initiative, which gives local people a say in how recoverd criminal assets should be spent in their communities, 800 personal household CCTV cameras have been distributed. |
