Anti-social 1 WED

Anti-social behaviour in north Bournemouth has fallen by almost 25 per cent according to new figures.

There were 642 fewer incidents over the last 4 months compared to last year.

Dorset police say the drop is down to them providing a police presence in areas where incidents have previously taken place.

They've also been visiting the parents of youngsters involved in anti-social behaviour - and arranging contracts with them - so they can keep an eye on them and monitor their behaviour.

Anti-social behaviour has dropped in one part of Bournemouth by nearly a quarter in the last 4 months.

That's according to new police figures - which say there were 642 fewer incidents compared to last year.

Dorset police have been visiting the parents of youngsters involved in anti-social behaviour - and arranging contracts with them - so they can keep an eye on them and monitor their behaviour.

They're urging all youngsters to stay safe and act responsibly now the summer holidays have begun.
