Responding to increased anti-social behaviour in the Parish

East Bedlington Parish Council are aware of the recent escalation of youth related Anti-Social Behaviour which has led to damage to public play areas, public open space and retail properties.  We are acutely aware of the distress this is causing in our community.  We are working behind the scenes with our County Councillors, the Police, NCC, neighbouring Parish Councils, traders and residents who  have come forward and want to be part of the solution.  We will be bringing together a multi-agency panel to address the current issues and pull together measures aimed at restoring harmony in our communities.
