Anti-social and nuisance behaviour

Anti-Social Behaviour can include a wide range of nuisances, disorder and crimes which affects people's lives on a daily basis. It can feel and look different in every area and to every victim. What might be considered anti-social by one person, might be considered acceptable to another.

Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) can cover a wide range of incidents and is dealt with by a number of different agencies. If ASB is not dealt with appropriately and in a timely manner it can have a devastating impact on the lives of individuals, families and communities.

It is widely recognised that single agencies cannot tackle ASB alone and must work in partnership to address the issues.

To ensure that your complaint reaches the appropriate team, please select the appropriate form below based on whether your complaint is related to Housing or street-based ASB

Housing-based Anti-Social Behaviour may involve various disruptive or harmful behaviours that occur within or near a residential property. Examples of such behaviours include:

• Neighbours causing a nuisance
• Inconsiderate or loud behaviour
• Abuse, harassment, or intimidation
• Drug-related activities taking place in or around the property
• Threats of violence or harm
• Domestic abuse (for council tenants) 

Report Housing-Based ASB

On the other hand, Street-based Anti-Social Behaviour generally involves issues that take place in public areas, including:

• Anti-social use of vehicles
• Rowdy and nuisance behaviour
• Criminal damage/vandalism
• Drug dealing
• Misuse of air guns and inappropriate use of fireworks
