Ongo and partners work together to tackle anti-social behaviour concerns

We’ve been working closely with partner agencies to address ongoing anti-social behaviour (ASB) concerns raised by residents in the Chatterton Crescent and Abbey areas.

Working alongside local Police and Safer Neighbourhoods teams, we’ve reviewed previous reports, shared intelligence and developed a targeted action plan to help tackle issues including suspected criminal activity, damage to communal areas and the impact on vulnerable residents.

Together, we’ve carried out joint neighbourhood visits, resident engagement events, door knocking and intelligence gathering to better understand the issues affecting the area. By working collaboratively, we’ve been able to take coordinated action and ensure all agencies involved are playing their part.

Alongside enforcement action where needed, we’ve also focused on supporting residents to maintain their tenancies and access the right support services. This balanced approach has helped increase engagement and is already showing positive signs of improvement within the community.

Fran Rhodes, Regional Manager at Ongo, said: “Creating safe, secure neighbourhoods is one of our top priorities. By working closely with our partners and listening to residents, we’ve built a clearer picture of the challenges affecting this area and taken action together. While there’s still more to do, we’re encouraged by the positive progress we’re seeing and remain committed to supporting residents and making our communities better places to live.”

The work has also strengthened partnerships between services, improving how information is shared and helping us identify and support residents at the earliest opportunity.
