⚖️ ASB can have serious consequences, not just for the community it impacts but for the person carrying it out and their families

🏘️ ASB can lead to civil and criminal action and even put your tenancy at risk

🗓️ There are plenty of free activities happening for children and young people throughout this period

📨To report ASB message Merseyside Police Contact Centre call 101 or contact our Community Safety team via [email protected]

Action has been taken against ten young people who were causing anti-social behaviour in Prescot Town Centre in August.

The individuals can no longer visit Prescot Town Centre or Cables Retail Park unless under the supervision of a parent or guardian.

Breaches of their Acceptable Behaviour Agreements would lead to further action being taken against the individuals.

🗣️ Cllr Shelley Powell, Cabinet Member for Communities and Neighbourhoods, said: “Action has been taken against these young people thanks to close partnership working between the Council’s Community Safety team and Knowsley Police. The action taken highlights that this type of behaviour will not be tolerated and has no place in our town centres.”
