Tackling antisocial behaviour

Antisocial behaviour refers to any conduct by a tenant, visitor, or member of the public that causes (or is likely to cause) nuisance, alarm, harassment, or distress to others in or around a property or neighbourhood.

Antisocial behaviour can include things like:

Physical violence
Hate incidents
Abusive language and/or threatening behaviour
Drug use or dealing
Criminal behaviour
Vandalism and damage to property
Misuse of communal areas

If you're in immediate danger, or risk of harm, please call 999 straight away.

There are some things we can't help with, because they are not considered to be antisocial behaviour. These things include:

One-off parties and barbecues
Infrequent and occasional noise or disturbances
Children playing
Babies crying
Occasional dog barking
Cooking smells
Smoke from cigarettes and cigars
Household noise caused by everyday living
