Anti-social behaviour creates an environment which negatively affect our everyday lives.
I want to hear your views about how we can reduce the levels of anti-social behaviour in Whoberley together, by leaving me your comments and suggestions. You may have an idea to improve street lighting in your local area, especially as the winter evenings approach us. I know this is a particular issue in Dunchurch Highway. Or maybe you have an idea to introduce well managed local play and youth facilities, to reduce youngsters congregating with little constructive activities to do, such as around Allesley Park.
What do you also think of how the council and police respond to incidents of anti-social behaviour? I want to know if there is anything that could be done better to protect our safety and property.

We need to show people we are no longer going to take this. But most of the blame starts at home. I would love for there to be a play area built near me but the 'Anti-Social Behavior' it would bring I would not put the plan forward. We need to stand-up and make these people (not just the young but many older people) we will not take it.
Get the police on the beat and stop them becoming pen pushers. Also the police should lead by example and stop riding their motor bikes over the foot bridge at Canley....
Thank you for your comment.
I agree that measures to curb anti social behaviour must include sufficient deterrent - so that people think twice before committing an offence. I do not believe that more legislation is required, however existing powers should be enforced more effectively. The upcoming Flanagan report commissioned by the Labour government is likely to recommend measures to streamline police bureaucracy making their job easier.
As a society though, we must also recognise that each of us play a part in ensuring safer communities. As you stated, a lot starts at home. Citizens have responsibilities as well as rights, and part of that includes raising children with love and attention, encouraging them to learn the value of respect. We should also be able to provide our next generation with well managed facilities outside of school to harness their energy positively. For our children to roam in depressing urban environments with nothing to do - is let’s face it, anti-social too.
Many thanks for your comments back...
You are right for children hanging around depressing environments with nothing to do is a form of anti-social. I remember being a child (oh it seems so far away) hanging around on out chopper bikes and playing on the fields we were safe but now if older people see groups (or now they call them 'gang') of children hanging around they always think they are doing something wrong and try to move them on thats when it becomes anti-social. We need more interaction with the 'groups' of children give them something to do.
