Still time to have your say on antisocial behaviour

Have your say on Edinburgh’s Antisocial Behaviour Strategy
smashed-windscreen5
The latest  Antisocial Behaviour Strategy for Edinburgh is being drafted, and the next phase for this project is to go out to public consultation, so we can gather the opinions of the people of Edinburgh about Antisocial Behaviour and how it affects them. The consultation will run until the 31st December and will be hosted online at:
 
 
There is also a print version of the consultation available for anyone who does not wish to respond electronically, available at Neighbourhood Council Offices and Libraries.
 
The more feedback we get through the Consultation the better, so if you or your organisation can support the Consultation by raising awareness through social media, having paper copies available at public offices, or through any other means it would be much appreciated.
