About us?
Leeds Anti-Social Behaviour Unit is a Leeds City Council service.
Leeds City Council believes that everyone who lives, works or visits the city has the basic right to enjoy peace and quiet in their own home, feel safe and secure and not have to suffer or tolerate the anti-social activities of others.
The Anti-Social Behaviour Unit brings together experienced staff from Leeds City Council, West Yorkshire Police and a broad range of other partner organisations to effectively prevent and resolve anti-social behaviour.
