What is Anti-Social Behaviour?

Anti-social behaviour can impact upon an individual, a family, the community and the town as a whole. It can make life unpleasant and create an environment where serious crime can take hold.

Southend Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership is committed to tackling anti social behaviour and has a dedicated, award-winning team called SMAART (Southend Multi Agency Anti social behaviour Response Team).

The team comprises of officers from Southend Borough Council, South Essex Homes and Essex Police. The team works closely with colleagues from partner agencies to provide a comprehensive response to dealing with the issues that blight our communities.

If you would like advice or assistance with regard to any aspect of anti-social behaviour, please contact the team on:
