This measure is detailed in the council’s recently introduced ASB policy, which officials tout as one of the toughest in the country. The scheme encourages local residents to volunteer as community champions, tasked with monitoring and reporting antisocial activities. However, concerns have been raised about the safety of these volunteers.
