Advice/Help about Anti-Social Behaviour:
Ards is the only Council in Northern Ireland to have established a team dedicated to tackling anti-social behaviour.
A three-strong anti-social behaviour unit works alongside local community police officers across the Ards area to deal with a range of issues, from people causing annoyance to the consumption of alcohol in public places - the kinds of problem which can affect local people's quality of life. By building up a picture of problem areas, the anti-social behaviour unit is able to target hot spots, increase high profile patrols and take more enforcement action. The Unit will also be developing an education programme, working with schools, youth groups and community groups.
The Anti-Social Behaviour Team is based at Newtownards Police Station and can be contacted on 028 9182 4044.
Community Safety in Ards is driven by a partnership made up of representatives from Ards Borough Council, the youth sector, PSNI , Ulster Community and Hospitals Trust, NIHE , PBNI, Community Safety Centre, SEELB , Chamber of Trade and Consumer Panel.
This Community Safety Partnership is responsible for taking forward an action plan which aims to reduce crime and the fear of crime across the Ards. The current community safety action plan has four themes, two of which focus on tackling crime and anti-social behaviour in Newtownards town centre and Donaghadee, a third which aims to deal with crime - and the fear of crime - affecting vulnerable adults and a fourth element which will see a specific community safety plan drawn up for the West Winds estate in Newtownards.

Environmental Services/Environmental Health:
The role of the Council's Environmental Health Service is to control the factors in man's environment which can affect public safety and health, within the realms of the Council's statutory obligations. This is mainly achieved by enforcing environmental health legislation, empowered to the District Council by central government, and by reporting the results of that activity to Council for information or decision as appropriate. The Environmental Health Service also has an increasing role to fulfil in the field of health promotion and provision of advice to businesses and the general public, and in working partnership with other agencies to promote health and wellbeing generally. The links below provide further information on each of our main activities.
