ANTI-SOCIAL behaviour in Harrogate is getting worse, according to a quality of life survey conducted by the town's watchdog Civic Society.

Asked if anti-social behaviour was the same over recent years or worse now, 77 per cent said the situation had worsened.

Results of the poll have been given to the town's Community and Police Forum.

North Yorkshire Police say figures in the poll were broadly reflective of police surveys of public attitudes - but added that fear of crime was often worse than chances of personal involvement.
