Anti Social Behaviour Orders (ASBOs) can be used to stop the kind of behaviour that too often 'fell through the net' when it came to calling the police and making a complaint.
If you somebody in your neighbourhood is making noise or creating a general nuisance, we can help you.
For more information about ASBOs visit the
ASBO website.

We're one of six principal partners in this unique partnership which has focus groups tackling burglary, car crime, violent crime, drug and substance misuse, domestic violence and anti-social behaviour across the town.
Achieving a reduction in crime and the fear of crime, and improving the quality of life for local residents and visitors, is no longer the responsibility of one agency, but of local organisations working together.
Through the partnership, we're directly involved in tackling crime and the fear of crime in Hastings & St Leonards.
For more information on the Safer Hastings Partnership, please visit the Safer Hastings website.

Hastings and St Leonards has a team of 17 Wardens, who patrol the town, helping to keep it safe and clean.
Wardens maintain a visible presence, report suspicious incidents and environmental issues to the appropriate organisation, and offer advice to all members of the community.
Count on your Wardens to:
The Warden Service works with other Council departments to:
Wardens wear striking orange and green uniforms, making them easy to distinguish from the police and other emergency services. They all carry state-of-the-art equipment so that they can deal with incidents quickly and efficiently.
Wardens issue Fixed Penalty Notices for dog fouling, fly tipping and littering; which includes dropping cigarette butts and putting domestic rubbish out for collection too early.
These £50 fines are enforceable by law, so failure to pay can result in court action.
Each area of the town has a dedicated team of four wardens.
the East Hastings Wardens
the Central Hastings Wardens
the South St Leonards Wardens
the North Hastings Wardens
