Nuisance and anti-social behaviour

We will work with you when you are experiencing nuisance or anti-social behaviour (ASB) to resolve the problems as quickly and as easily as possible.

Our commitment:

When residents report behaviour or actions that cause them harassment, distress or alarm:

  • We will provide convenient reporting methods including a dedicated ASB telephone line.
  • We will treat all complaints in confidence and offer private and convenient facilities to discuss the complaint.
  • We will assign a named officer to the case that will progress the case through to the end.
  • We will listen and tell you what actions can and can’t be taken.
  • In cases identified as ASB, we will agree an Action Plan, including feedback arrangements with the victim / witnesses.
  • We will offer mediation services to resolve neighbour disputes.
  • Where necessary we will use legal remedies to resolve the problem, including eviction.
  • If we need to take legal action we will keep you updated and in control of what is happening as much as we can.

Specifically:

  • If you report a Hate Crime, we will contact you within 1 working day.
  • If you report Domestic Violence, we will contact you within 1 working day.
  • We will respond to all reports of nuisance and ASB within 5 working days giving priority to the most serious cases.
