23 incidents were reported for October.
This equates to a decrease of 36.1% on the previous month’s total of 36 incidents and perhaps represents a reflection of lower temperatures and a reduction in daylight hours.

A report based on 12 months data June 2021 to June 2022 together with findings & recommendations has been provided to appropriate Corporation Members and discussions are ongoing.
Please continue to report any anti-social behaviour you may witness occurring across the estate. Any crime, including phone or bag snatching, should be reported directly to the City of London Police and not included here.
Please remember that the intention of the ASB Reporter is purely to gather evidence of anti-social behaviour. Therefore, if you witness an asb incident please use the website to record the event but if immediate action is also required then you should follow normal procedure such as calling the Police on 101 (or 999 but only if URGENT); Barbican Estate Office; City Noise Team etc.
