Antisocial Behaviour
We believe that everybody has the right to a safe place to live
That's why we always take any reports of anti-social behaviour extremely serious
What is anti-social behaviour?
We describe anti-social behaviour as behaviour that causes alarm, fear or distress to others. It can affect one person or a whole neighbourhood, and can cover lots of things such as illegal and immoral behaviour, violence, harassment or youth nuisance.
Remember, there’s a difference between anti-social behaviour and everyday neighbourhood niggles. We don’t always see eye to eye with our neighbours and things like a noisy one-off party, children playing in the street, pesky pets and parking can sometimes be annoying.
In some cases, having a calm conversation with your neighbour is the best way to solve these sorts of problems. After all, they might not even realise their behaviour is bothering you!
How can I report anti-social behaviour?
We understand that it’s not always as easy as having a chat and there are times when things might get out of hand. That’s when you need to take further action to sort out the problem as quickly as possible.
