Safe communities

We believe that tackling nuisance and anti-social behaviour is a key part of delivering sustainable communities and improving the quality of life for our residents and non-residents alike.

Any behaviour that has caused or is likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress to one or more people within their home or community is anti-social behaviour.

Examples of anti-social behaviour are:

• Criminal activity (committing arrestable offences)
• Damage to property
• Dangerous dogs (Dangerous Dogs Act 1991)
• Intimidation
• Hate crime
• Illegal drug abuse or distribution
• Alcohol or solvent abuse
• Noise nuisance.

Further information about how we deal with ASB can be found below.
