Anti-social behaviour

We are committed to fair treatment for all, and believe that everyone must be given an equal chance to live, work and learn free from discrimination, prejudice and harassment.

We take seriously any complaints about anti-social behaviour, neighbour nuisance or harassment. This is a guide to explain what is meant by these terms and to tell you what we can do when you report a problem.

We also have a hate incident policy to make sure this happens and a community safety policy and procedure..

What is anti-social behaviour (ASB)?

Anti-social behaviour is a general term used to describe a whole range of things that people do to upset other people. According to the Crime and Disorder Act 1998, anti-social behaviour is behaviour which causes or is likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress to one or more people who are not in the same household as the perpetrator.

Legal powers against anti-social behaviour

The ASB Crime & Policing Act 2014 includes six legal powers and we work with other organisations to achieve the best results we can for victims of anti-social behaviour.

What isn't anti-social behaviour?

Sometimes people report problems with their neighbours which are not a nuisance according to the law. This limits our powers to be able to deal with such issues.
