Report anti-social behaviour if you’re a council tenant

Anti-social behaviour covers a wide range of unacceptable activity that affects the lives of many people on a daily basis. It often leaves victims feeling helpless, desperate and with a seriously reduced quality of life on our estates.

Anti-social behaviour is defined as behaviour ‘which causes or is likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress’ to other people including behaviour which puts people in fear of crime. Behaviour does not have to be criminal for it to be classed as anti-social behaviour.

We investigate all reports of anti-social behaviour and take them seriously. You have the right to live in your home without fear of intimidation, nuisance or harassment.
