HELP is at hand for Inverclyde residents who are struggling with nuisance behaviour.

Inverclyde Council is putting on two information sessions in Port Glasgow and Greenock as part of Anti-Social Behaviour Awareness Week this week.  

The first event will take place tomorrow, Wednesday 2 July 2025, in Boglestone Community Centre from 12-1pm.

The second drop-in session will be on Thursday 3 July 2025 at Grieve Road Community Centre from 2-3pm.

Representatives from the council’s community wardens and community safety and resilience services will be on hand to listen to concerns people have and offer help and advice, including how to report nuisance behaviour.

Councillor Michael McCormick, Inverclyde Council’s convener of environment and regeneration, said: “There is no excuse for anti-social behaviour and we are committed to tackling it because people should not have to put up with nuisance in their neighbourhoods.

“These drop-in sessions during Anti-Social Behaviour Awareness Week are the ideal way for residents to share their concerns directly with the people who can help make a difference.

“Our staff work closely with the emergency services, housing associations, and other partner organisations to deal with anti-social behaviour but we rely on information and feedback from members of the public to identify issues and allow us to take action and put an end to unacceptable behaviour in our communities.

“Everyone’s welcome, whether you need advice or just want to learn more.”

The aim of Anti-Social Behaviour Awareness Week, which runs from 30 June-6 July 2025, is to highlight the type of issues that affect communities in Inverclyde, empower individuals to report problems, and to signpost victims to support agencies operating locally and nationally.

It is closely aligned to the national campaign being run by Resolve UK and the overarching theme is ‘making communities safer’.

Anti-social behaviour means acting in a way that causes or could cause alarm or distress to someone in a different household.

It can include excessive noise, shouting, swearing or fighting, intimidation or threats, abusive behaviour or verbal abuse, and damage to property or vandalism.

More information about the awareness week, the drop-in events, and how to report anti-social behaviour is available on the Inverclyde Council website at: Anti Social Behaviour Awareness Week 2025 - Inverclyde Council.
