Trigger to report anti-social Bexley behaviour launched

PUBLISHED: 15:50 17 September 2013 | UPDATED: 15:50 17 September 2013

A programme aiming to tackle persistent antisocial behaviour in Bexley was launched today.

Community Trigger will provide support for repeat and vulnerable victims and allow them to ask for a review of their case, led by Bexley Council and involving police, health services and registered social landlords, if individuals feel no action has been taken.

It is a government scheme that is being tested in areas nationwide. After six months, the council will report its findings to the Home Office.
