Anti-social behaviour (also known as ASB) describes day-to-day incidents of crime, nuisance and disorder that can make people’s lives a misery – from vandalism, to public drunkenness or aggressive dogs, to neighbour disputes.
Many anti-social complaints we receive are actually neighbour disputes, which are often misunderstandings or one-off events, and can be easily resolved by just speaking to each other.
If you have a dispute with your neighbour, before making a complaint, we would always encourage you to try to discuss the problem with them if you feel comfortable/safe to do so - find out more.
If you feel you need help and support to do this, 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.
If you have tried to do this and the problem still persists, or you feel unhappy/unsafe to do so, you can report your issue to us - we have a range of powers to deal with anti-social behaviour - find out more.
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).
