Merseyside Police said there are a number of people you can contact if antisocial behaviour is affecting your life. This can be the police, your local council Community Safety Department or, if relevant, your housing provider. Merseyside Police also said it is important to keep records of what is happening.

It said: "It is important to keep records of when and what behaviour is happening. Don't be afraid to tell one of the partner agencies about it and to ask for support when you need it.

"To help you and others, report antisocial behaviour, record it, look out for others that may experience antisocial behaviour and report it on their behalf."

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the many of the streets featured in Merseyside's top five for reports of antisocial behaviour were busy main streets, shopping thoroughfares or long roads stretching for a number of miles.

Here are the top five streets for anti-social behaviour in Merseyside and how many reports it received:

  1. Hopwood Street, Vauxhall – 49 reports
  2. Pall Mall, city centre – 36 reports
  3. Faringdon Close, Hunts Cross – 32 reports
