Anti-social behaviour (ASB) is a broad term used to describe the day-to-day incidents of crime, nuisance and disorder that can make people’s lives a misery – from litter and vandalism, to public drunkenness or aggressive dogs, to noisy or abusive neighbours.
Things we can help to address include:
- Neighbour or neighbourhood disputes.
- Anti-social behaviour related to begging or homelessness.
- Anti-social behaviour related to young people and adults.
- A dispute over parking (where no parking offence has been committed).
If you are experiencing anti-social behaviour, the Harmony ASB & mediation service, which is run by Victim Support, can provide advice, support and mediation. Call the team at Harmony on 07960 204366 or email harmony@victimsupport.org.uk for specialist support and advice.
You can also report anti-social behaviour to us using our online form.
The form will guide you as to whether your enquiry/complaint should be handled as an anti-social behaviour case, or whether another agency can help you. If your enquiry/complaint is considered anti-social behaviour related, you will then be able to fill in the form to report your issue. If your enquiry is better handled by another agency/in another way, our form will provide you with the right advice and guidance.
If you have a complaint about issues like noise, bonfires or smoke, please visit our environmental health section.
