Residents affected by persistent anti-social behaviour in North Lincolnshire now have stronger powers to challenge inaction when problems continue unresolved.

For residents who feel they are getting nowhere despite repeatedly reporting anti-social behaviour, the strengthened arrangements provide an important safeguard, ensuring concerns cannot simply be ignored when problems continue.

Cllr Rob Waltham, leader, North Lincolnshire Council, said: “Nobody should have to put up with persistent anti-social behaviour or feel they are being ignored when they report it.

“This is about giving residents confidence that if problems continue, there are clear steps they can take to make sure everyone come togethers to review what has happened and agree what more can be done.

“People deserve to feel safe in their neighbourhoods and know that concerns will be taken seriously. Strengthening support for victims is at the heart of what we’re doing.”

By strengthening the process, the council is helping ensure residents have a stronger voice and that agencies remain accountable when anti-social behaviour continues to affect communities.

The ASB Case Review gives victims and communities the right to request a formal review where anti-social behaviour has been reported on multiple occasions but concerns remain unresolved.

The process brings together organisations across the Community Safety Partnership to examine what action has been taken and identify what further steps can be taken to tackle the issue.

The review process applies to existing cases where anti-social behaviour has been reported to agencies at least three times within six months. New incidents should continue to be reported through normal channels.

The council works closely with Humberside Police, housing providers and other partners through the Community Safety Partnership to tackle anti-social behaviour, support victims and improve neighbourhood safety.

As part of that work, the council has also signed the ASB Help Pledge, demonstrating its commitment to best practice, victim-centred services and effective partnership working.

Cllr John Davison, cabinet member for Ashby, Bottesford and Scunthorpe, said: “Anti-social behaviour can have a significant impact on people’s quality of life, particularly when issues continue over a long period of time.

“The Case Review process is an important safeguard because it gives victims another opportunity to have their concerns heard and ensures agencies are challenged to work together to find solutions.

“The focus is simple – supporting residents, resolving problems and making our communities safer places to live.”

From riverside trails and woodland paths to gentle strolls through parks and nature reserves, hundreds of opportunities are being offered this summer to help people get active, improve their wellbeing and discover more of North Lincolnshire.

The new Walking North Lincolnshire summer programme features dozens of free led walks taking place across towns, villages and beauty spots throughout June, July and August, with routes designed for all ages and abilities.

Whether people are looking for a gentle one-mile accessible walk, a social walk with friends, a longer five-mile trail route or even Nordic walking, there is something for everyone.

The programme takes in locations across the whole of North Lincolnshire, including Barton-upon-Humber, Winterton, Epworth, Brigg, Alkborough, Goxhill, Belton, Wrawby, South Ferriby, Haxey, Scotton and Scunthorpe.

Cllr Rob Waltham, leader, North Lincolnshire Council, said: “Sometimes the best things are right on your doorstep. These walks are a fantastic way to get out, get active, meet new people and explore parts of North Lincolnshire you may never have visited before.

“Walking is one of the simplest ways to improve your health and wellbeing, but it is also about enjoying our countryside, our parks and our communities. Whether you are taking your first steps towards being more active or already enjoy regular walks, there is something in this programme for you.”

Alongside the led walks programme, residents can also take part in a wide range of community wellbeing activities, including walking football, walking cricket, strength and balance sessions, social groups, parent and pushchair walks and low-impact exercise classes.

Cllr Christine Patterson, cabinet member for healthy communities, said: “We want North Lincolnshire to be a place where people can live healthy, active and independent lives. Programmes like this help people improve their physical health, boost their mental wellbeing and make new connections within their communities.

“The fact that so many activities are free or low cost means more people can take part and benefit.”

No booking is required for the led walks – residents can simply turn up and join in. Full details of all walks and activities are available through Walking North Lincolnshire and LiveWell North Lincolnshire.
