------------------------------------
Due to organisational restructures within the Anti-Social Behaviour Unit, Neighbourhood Patrollers will no longer be dealing with complaints of general anti-social behaviour. Examples of this are:
- Abusive behaviour
- Children playing ball games
- Fireworks
- Climbing into property
- Youths drinking in parks and general open spaces
- Lighting of fires
- Gangs/rowdy behaviour
- Off road motorbicycle vehicle nuisance
These are police issues and as such should be referred to 0845 60 60 60 6, or if immediate assistance is required please contact the emergency services on 999.
Wakefield Councils Neighbourhood Patrollers are now called Environment Officers, and they will be focusing on environmental issues (littering, dog fouling, litter clearing notices.)
You can still continue to report environmental issues through to Wakefield Council’s Contact Centre on 08458 506 506.
