Anti-Social Behaviour Awareness Week 2026 will run across Northamptonshire from Monday 29 June to Sunday 5 July, with free community events, drop-in sessions and outreach activity in town centres and neighbourhoods.
The programme is spread across various locations across Northamptonshire, including Corby, Kettering, Wellingborough, Northampton and Daventry. Most sessions are drop-in, with no booking required, and are aimed at residents who want advice, want to raise concerns, or want to understand how anti-social behaviour can be reported locally.
West Northamptonshire Council, North Northamptonshire Council, Northamptonshire Police and partners are running the week with Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service, Northamptonshire Partnership Homes, the Immediate Justice team linked to Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Danielle Stone, and local organisations.
Free sessions across Northamptonshire
The week is part of the national Anti-Social Behaviour Awareness Week campaign, which brings councils, police, fire services, housing providers and community groups together around the impact of anti-social behaviour and the routes for reporting it.
In Northamptonshire, the focus is practical. Residents will be able to speak directly with ASB teams, neighbourhood policing teams and housing officers at community settings, including cafe-style sessions in areas such as Briar Hill and Blackthorn.
Those sessions are expected to cover local issues including graffiti and fly-tipping, with officers and partner organisations available to offer advice and guidance. The source material describes the sessions as informal and accessible, with residents able to attend without booking an appointment.

Town centres, underpasses and reporting tools
Alongside the public drop-ins, cadets and officers will carry out outreach work in identified hotspot and low-reporting areas. Leaflet drops are planned across Towcester, Northampton, Kettering and Wellingborough, with evening engagement activity also listed as part of the programme.
Neighbourhood policing engagement is also planned in town centres, while community surgeries with police officers are expected in Corby and Desborough. A repeated theme through the week is the promotion of ASB reporting platforms, so residents know where concerns can be raised.
In Daventry, the Ashby Road underpass is due to be transformed through a community street art project led by local artist Binty Bint and Parker E-ACT students. Before the artwork begins, the Immediate Justice team will work with offenders to clean and prepare the space.
What residents need to know before attending
The week runs from Monday 29 June to Sunday 5 July 2026. Events are free, and the programme is aimed at residents of Northamptonshire, including people affected by anti-social behaviour, those who want advice, and people who want to understand local reporting routes.
Venues vary by day, with named locations including Castle Theatre in Wellingborough, the Grosvenor Centre in Northampton, Daventry Family Hub, Eastfield Park in Northampton and Northampton Market Square. The programme also includes town centre activity in Corby, Desborough, Kettering, Towcester and Daventry.
No booking is required for most drop-in sessions, according to the source information. Residents are encouraged to attend local events, speak to officers and partner organisations, and find out how to report ASB in their area through the relevant council information channels.
