“We continue to encourage people to report ASB to us so we can identify any hotspot areas and respond accordingly, working with our partners to ensure a multi-agency approach to tackle the root cause of ASB as well as respond to incidents promptly as and when they do occur.

“We will continue to do all in our powers to drive down figures even further, and ensure that rural Wellingborough maintains its reputation as a safe and pleasant place to live.”
