Anti-social behaviour

Antisocial behaviour affects the wellbeing of our communities, from persistent noise disturbances to vandalism, intimidation, and public disorder.

Everyone deserves to feel safe and enjoy peace in their own home, so we are committed to work with tenants and partners such as the police to make that happen.

Examples of ASB can include:

  • Criminal behaviour such as vandalism or drug taking
  • Noice nuisance
  • Harassment
  • Verbal abuse
  • Threats of or actual violence
  • Intimidation
  • Hate crime
  • Fly-tipping

What should I do if I’m affected by ASB?
If it feels safe to do so, try speaking to the person involved. Sometimes, a calm conversation can help resolve things, but we understand this isn’t always possible.

Instead, you can report ASB to using the following ways:

If the behaviour is criminal, report it to the police on 999 if an emergency or 101 if not. You can also report non-emergency cases of ASB to the police online.

What happens after I’ve reported ASB?
We’ll record your complaint and any relevant evidence and compile a risk assessment with you.

We’ll investigate the complaint and agree an action plan with you. We’ll keep you informed throughout the whole process.

We understand it can be difficult to come forward when reporting ASB, but by working with us, we can help you get the issues resolved and provide you with the right support.

Together, we can create safer, stronger, sustainable communities for everyone.
