The City of Wolverhampton Council is joining a national campaign to tackle anti-social behaviour (ASB) and keep residents safe.
ASB Awareness Week 2025, which begins today (Monday 30 June, 2025), aims to encourage communities to make a stand against ASB and highlight the actions that can be taken by those experiencing it.
Organised by Resolve, the UK’s leading ASB and community safety organisation, the week features a series of events all across the UK, involving councils, police, housing associations, charities, community groups and sports clubs.
The council and its partners, including West Midlands Police and the Wolverhampton ASB Team, will be carrying out community engagement activities, patrols, while School Intervention Prevention Officers and Violence Reduction Partnership will be working with local schools to educate pupils about the issue of ASB.
The council is also urging members of the public not to suffer in silence if they experience ASB. Incidents can be reported to the Wolverhampton ASB Team on 01902 556789, by email via asbu@wolverhamptonhomes.org.uk or at Report anti-social behaviour, or to the police on 101 or 999 in an emergency.
Councillor Obaida Ahmed, Cabinet Member for Health, Wellbeing and Community, said: “We know that anti-social behaviour can cause a great deal of distress, and that’s why we’re committed to working with the public and other organisations across Wolverhampton to investigate and resolve issues as soon as possible.
“Statistics show that 56% of victims and witnesses don’t report ASB, but nobody should suffer in silence. So, our message is clear – if you see something, make sure you report it.
“We also have a range of events taking place in Wolverhampton to support ASB Awareness Week and I encourage residents to take part and help make it clear that ASB has no place in Wolverhampton.”
As well as patrols and engagement activities there will be information pop-ups at Bilston Indoor Market today (Monday) from 10am to 2pm, Warstones Library tomorrow (Tuesday) from 2pm to 5pm, the Avion Centre in Whitmore Reans on Wednesday from 11am to 2pm, the Civic Centre on Friday from noon to 1pm and Wolverhampton bus station on Friday from 2.30pm to 4pm.
Meanwhile, Resolve is hosting a series of webinars throughout the week as part of its summit, beginning with one to officially launch ASB Awareness Week today at noon. For more details, visit Resolve Summit 2025.
