What antisocial behaviour is, how to report it and what action we will take.
If you've been a victim of crime you should report this to the police on 101, or 999 if it's an emergency.
Antisocial behaviour
If you’re experiencing antisocial behaviour, you could try and talk to the person responsible. They may not realise their actions are affecting you. Only do this if you feel safe and comfortable.
If you are not able to resolve the problem by speaking to the person, you can report it to us. You can report any type of antisocial behaviour including:
- abuse, intimidation or harassment
- threat or use of violence
- drug or alcohol issues
- hate crimes and incidents
- prostitution
- vehicle related nuisance
- antisocial use of fireworks
If you want to report a noise nuisance, visit our
make a noise complaint page.
You can choose to report antisocial behaviour anonymously but this might make it difficult for us to take action.
What happens next
When we contact you we'll make an assessment about your enquiry and decide whether we can help. We may refer you to another organisation or person who can help with your issue.
If we open a case, we will give you a dedicated Case Officer to follow up on your complaint. We may take action including:
- getting a court order which bans the person responsible from doing certain things
- working with the police to prosecute the person responsible or give them a fine
- if the person is a council tenant, issuing a tenancy warning
If you have reported antisocial behaviour and want to know how it is being dealt with, you can
request a review known as the ASB review process.
