Antisocial behaviour helpline ~ ‘now back to normal’

On the 9th of October we reported that Nottingham City Council had taken the decision to refer everyone reporting Antisocial Behaviour to its hotline, to the Police Control room by dialling 101. The confusion continued until 11th October when Mr Martin Valentine, Head of Communications & Marketing at Nottingham City Homes held a special meeting with Community Protection officers to resolve the debacle.

Today everything is back to normal and the hotline is up and running again as before. Therefore If you experience any of these problem do please ring the ASB Helpline on the above Hotline number.
