Youth related ASB

Issued: 9 Mar 2026

Status Update

From feedback in the community and on social media we are aware that youth related anti-social behaviour is an issue across our town centres including Prescot, Huyton and Kirkby. We know that the better weather and school holidays across the summer months heightens these issues and to combat this we have town centre summer plans in place to increase patrols in town centres at key times, target offenders and work with partners to engage with the youths and provide diversionary activities.
