Local Priorities

Anti Social Behaviour in Barnoldswick. There has been an increase in ASB over the last few months. This centres around the Coop and the town centre but has spread to other areas. This has had a negative effect on residents and businesses in the area.

Status Update

Barnoldswick has been added to the patrol plan for Neighbourhood officers to visit on late shifts. The local NHP staff are working with partner agencies to address the long term issues of ASB. The local NHP team have identified the youths responsible and are dealing with them accordingly. In addition to this, Barnoldswick has been added to Immediate Response briefing sheet for them to patrol as and when they are free
