Residents can report anti- social behaviour to Jon Gurel, Community Safety Manager at Southend-on-Sea City Council : southendcsu@southend.gov.uk

Jon emphasises the need for the public to REPORT any issues. Direct INTEL from the public is critical. This includes INCIDENTS, LOCATIONS, TIMES etc. Details of WHAT has been WITNESSED is used as EVIDENCE i.e. description of people involved.

If there is persistent ASB in an area then a PSPO ( Public Space Protection Order) can be enforced.
