We are committed to tackling anti social behaviour and believe that everyone has a right to live quietly and without disturbance in their home. In the event of problems arising we have a specialist Anti-Social Behaviour team who deal with a variety of complaints of neighbour nuisance. Our aim is to resolve things as quickly and amicably as possible, so that people can get back to living peaceably next door to each other.

Part of our commitment to tackling anti social behaviour includes using a variety of methods available. As well as have our specialist team we have a range of equipment we can use if necessary to collect evidence in neighbourhoods. We have surveillance cameras that can be installed and sound recording equipment. Where appropriate we can also refer cases to an independent mediation service

Where mediation is not appropriate, we will take other steps including legal action through the courts. This may include verbal and written warnings, Acceptable Behaviour Contracts, Notices of Seeking Possession, Injunctions or Undertakings and Possession Proceedings.
 
Our anti-social behaviour teams deals with a range of complaints from low level neighbour disputes and noise nuisance to more serious harassment and criminal behaviour.
