Councils have statutory duties under the Anti-social Behaviour (ASB), Crime and Policing Act 2014 and the Environmental Protection Act 1990 to patrol the local area and use their powers to intervene to prevent or address nuisance-generating behaviour and ASB.

LB Ealing is establishing a work agreement to deliver the following four key provisions:

1) a proactive patrol service tasked by council officers from the Council’s Parks team and focused on areas in Council managed parks;

2) a proactive Patrol service tasked by Council officers from the Council’s Safer Communities team and focused on areas in Council managed housing estates;

3) a patrol and response service reacting to calls from residents relating to noise nuisance, including those calls that may include an ASB aspect;

4) a servicer to lock and unlock parks and Council buildings.

The appointed supplier will deliver services to LB Ealing. However, the work will also be made available for other London Boroughs to use.
