Residents complaining of anti-social behaviour in Bognor Regis and the surrounding areas have been warned not to report crime on social media.

A recent survey commissioned by Arun District Council found that people using or dealing drugs and littering were the most prominent issues identified by residents with a ‘significant increase’ in drunken rowdy behaviour reported.

Of the more than 1,300 respondents, 32 per cent saw drunk and rowdy behaviour in public as a problem – up from 27 per cent in 2021.
