"The Safer Caerphilly Community Safety Partnership takes a tough stance on ASB and has a number of tools at its disposal to deal with it including civil Injunctions, Community Protection Notices (CPNs), Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs) and Closure Orders," it says. "ASB can have a negative effect on the quality of life of individuals and communities so it is important to report any concerns or issues you are experiencing."
It says that for advice and guidance relating to ASB people should contact its Community Safety Team. In an emergency you should dial 999, while for non-emergencies call 101.
