Dear Resident/business owner
The Safer Hambleton Hub is based at The Civic Centre as a part of North Yorkshire Council. We work in partnership with different organisations and agencies to reduce, prevent or detect crime, disorder, or ant-social behaviour across the Northallerton Locality.
Through recent discussions with our partners including the local police team, we have become aware of anti-social behaviour issues that are occurring in your local area of which may be affecting the image of our town, the business and residents living conditions. Very Few incidents have been reported to either North Yorkshire Police, Broadacres Housing Association or ourselves at the Council, therefore, we are trying to determine the extent of the issues of which we have been made aware. The purpose of this letter is not to cause anyone alarm, but to ask for your assistance in trying to deal with any issues that may have occurred.
We would like to take the opportunity to remind everyone that it is essential that incidents of antisocial behaviour are reported to the police, as they occur, via the 999/101 telephone number to allow a pattern of behaviour to be understood and action to be taken. Facebook or other social media posts do not result in recorded incidents and therefore action cannot be taken to rectify any situation if the issues are not formally reported and recorded.
If you would prefer to report any historical information in relation to any issues which you may be aware of, you can email into the Hub at safer@hambleton.gov.uk All contact can be done anonymously if you would feel more comfortable doing so. We will not share any personal details.
We require every resident’s assistance because we can only work with the evidence that we have. Your full co-operation therefore is not only appreciated but vital for us to deal with any issues and ensure that residents of this area are able to enjoy their neighbourhood without any concerns.
Yours Faithfully
