Begging and Anti-Social Behaviour

Begging and Anti-Social Behaviour

We continue to work in partnership with the police to address issues around aggressive begging and associated anti-social behavior. Our Welcome Ambassadors report on any incidents they see and provide evidence, which allows the police to disperse or, in serious cases, arrest individuals whose actions are having a detrimental impact on our businesses and their customers.

“Incredible strides have been made as a group of organisations working together to make Chester safer and more secure for residents, families and city visitors. It’s important we continue to find ways to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour, so our work doesn’t stop here.”

David Keane, Cheshire Police and Crime Commissioner
