Harlow Council vows to protect our communities as it marks Antisocial Behaviour Awareness Week
Crime / Thu 3rd Jul 2025 at 05:52am
HARLOW Council is working with other key partners – the police, schools and community organisations – to reclaim areas of the town that have been blighted by antisocial behaviour.
Councillor Joel Charles, the council’s Cabinet Member for Public Protection, marked Antisocial Behaviour Awareness Week in The Stow as part of continued efforts to improve community safety in that part of the town:
“Those who want to wage a campaign of anti-social behaviour should think twice if they plan to do so in Harlow. The council, working closely with the police, is focused on tackling those who think it is acceptable to cause alarm, distress or harassment.
“A visible enforcement presence is important. That is why the council’s community safety team regularly patrol anti-social behaviour hotspots in the town, often with officers from the neighbourhood policing team, to act as a deterrent.
“This year’s Antisocial Behaviour Awareness Week is about adopting new ways to take swifter action against perpetrators, so that each and every neighbourhood in the town is safer as a result. Building greater public trust and confidence in the response to anti-social behaviour is a council priority.”
The theme for Antisocial Behaviour Week (ASB) is Making Communities Safer. This ties into the council’s plan, Building Harlow’s Future, and its mission to protect our communities. The council is working to make sure every resident feels safe in any part of town at any time of day.
Joining Councillor Charles on the most recent visit to The Stow this week were Councillor Danielle Brown and members of the Safer Harlow Partnership and the council’s Community Safety team and local policing teams. As part of the visit there was also a discussion on existing and potential opportunities in The Stow and the neighbouring area for different activities which could help prevent ASB.

You can make them safer by simply more police on patrol, remove the repeat well known offenders with serious prison sentences. Oh and stop benefits for anyone convicted of a crime.

Went to the Lister House mobile CT scanner unit this AM, for my booked appointment. I was turned away and told they could not keep my appointment, it appears that during the night a person or persons unknown, had nicked the electrical cabling that runs between the generator to the mobile unit, thus the scanner was out of commission, my appointment, and maybe lots of other appointments booked for today have gone to the wall and will all have to be rearranged, thanks for nothing you thieving imbeciles. Left there went straight to town where I saw 5 police all in a group walking and talking with each other, couldn’t make it up could you.

Well there goes the scanner The mobile scanner is a really important piece of kit Our hospital is under so much pressure and strain.With really it's really important that these people realise the importance of this theft.It may be your relatives that may need help.. Considering the ramifications of this theft. In hindsight. I have used the portable scanner myself.But may be in hindsight it would be better for it to be in a building.Perhaps the government will fork out for a new hospital and our scanner to have a proper home. Is there any company out there willing to replace said generator and cables. It is disgraceful that this has happened. Shame on you,sad excuses for human beings .Some people are a waste of skin Maybe the CCTV is working and they will be caught tomorrow. Please police make this a priority!!!
