Case studies

We are actively recruiting partners to work on specific public-realm problems - building evidence, testing approaches, and sharing what works.

Talk to us about partnering

FixASB is actively recruiting partners to work on specific public-realm problems. Together we can capture structured evidence, test proportionate responses, and develop practice that other places can learn from.

Below are the problem settings we are prioritising. If your organisation is responsible for one of these environments - or works closely with those who are - we would like to hear from you.

Stylised illustration of a quiet car park beside industrial buildings

Car parks and industrial estates

Shared vehicle and employment spaces where problems often concentrate after hours.

Common issues we expect to see

Late-night congregation, intimidation, and disorder in poorly overlooked parking areas
Fly-tipping, abandoned vehicles, and waste dumping on estate service roads
Vandalism to lighting, barriers, and commercial premises
Drug-related activity and unsafe behaviour that deters workers and legitimate users
Blurred accountability between landowners, private security, councils, and police

Retail parks and shopping parades

High-footfall commercial frontages where persistent issues affect traders and visitors alike.

Common issues we expect to see

Street drinking, loitering, and intimidation around entrances and seating
Shoplifting-linked disorder and aggressive begging that spill into public areas
Graffiti, damage to shop fronts, and misuse of alleyways or service yards
Noise, litter, and anti-social behaviour after trading hours
Fragmented response across retailers, BIDs, landlords, local authorities, and police

National parks and forestry

Protected landscapes and woodland where shared enjoyment depends on respectful use.

Common issues we expect to see

Illegal camping, fires, and damage to habitats or visitor facilities
Fly-tipping and littering on trails, car parks, and scenic viewpoints
Off-road vehicle misuse and unauthorised access to sensitive areas
Anti-social gatherings that intimidate other visitors and local communities
Wide geography that makes patterns harder to evidence without structured reporting

Stylised illustration of a railway station platform and infrastructure

Railway network and infrastructure

Stations, approaches, and lineside spaces that serve thousands of people every day.

Common issues we expect to see

Intimidation, harassment, and disorder on platforms, underpasses, and station approaches
Graffiti, vandalism, and damage to shelters, lifts, and waiting areas
Trespass, trackside anti-social behaviour, and unsafe activity near infrastructure
Substance misuse and rough sleeping in and around station environments
Complex multi-agency ownership across operators, Network Rail, BTP, and local partners

Tower blocks and housing estates

Shared residential spaces where neighbours live with the impact of persistent problems.

Common issues we expect to see

Communal-area disorder, intimidation, and misuse of stairwells, lifts, and courtyards
Noise, youth-related anti-social behaviour, and repeat hotspot activity
Drug dealing or use in shared spaces that undermines residents' sense of safety
Damage to doors, lighting, play areas, and other shared facilities
Residents feeling unheard when issues persist across housing providers, councils, and police

What we are looking for in case study partners

Partners who want to resolve problems in practice - and help others learn from what works.

Committed to resolving the issues

Ready to treat persistent problems as actionable, not inevitable - and to stay engaged while evidence, response, and follow-up take shape.
Open to problem-solving approaches

Willing to consider proportionate enforcement, partnership working, mediation, and other constructive options informed by a clearer picture of scale, impact, and nature.
Helping develop effective practice

Keen to help shape approaches that others can learn from - so progress in one place can inform better outcomes elsewhere.

If that sounds like your organisation, get in touch via our contact form and tell us about the setting you work in and the outcomes you want to achieve.
