Report anti social behaviour

Anti-social behaviour can seriously affect the quality of life for both the individual and the community in which they live and should not be tolerated. 

 

In the first instance where possible you should always try to speak to the other party or where this may not be possible write a letter as they may be unaware of the impact of their behaviour. 

 

However this may not always be a practical step to take and the next step will always be to report the behaviour to the relevant agency, as anti-social behaviour can take many forms from noise pollution to harassment or criminal damage the agency with the statutory powers to tackle the issue will depend upon the type of complaint received.
