This collective commitment marks a significant step forward in ensuring that residents across the Scottish Borders receive a consistent and coordinated response to complaints about antisocial behaviour.

The Strategy outlines a shared vision for prevention, early intervention, and enforcement, and sets out clear expectations for how complaints will be handled. It also reinforces the importance of partnership working and community engagement in tackling the root causes of antisocial behaviour.

By aligning approaches and standards across all partner organisations in this way, the Partnership aims to improve outcomes for communities and strengthen public confidence in how antisocial behaviour is addressed.

Speaking on behalf of the Partnership, Councillor Robin Tatler, SBC’s executive member for public safety and resilience, said: “This is a hugely positive development for the Scottish Borders. By adopting a unified strategy, our partner organisations are sending a clear message that antisocial behaviour will be dealt with consistently and effectively, no matter where it occurs or who is affected. It’s about ensuring fairness, transparency and a shared commitment to safer, stronger communities.”
