We work to prevent anti-social behaviour by:

• Supporting community safety programmes
• Funding programmes that improve the environment you live in
• Making your home as secure as possible
• Introducing Starter tenancies
• Promoting neighbourhood wardens

When anti-social behaviour does occur, we encourage our customers to try and solve the problem at an early stage by talking to each other. We also:

• Refer customers to a mediation service so they can talk through the problem
• Agree and jointly sign acceptable behaviour contracts with people who cause anti-social behaviour
• Provide parenting classes to help tackle nuisance behaviour by younger people.
• Provide activities for children to help them be a positive part of their local community. 
• Take legal action if necessary which could result in an anti-social behaviour order or the people causing anti-social behaviour to lose their home

Witness support

If we decide to go to court we need evidence. As a witness to anti-social behaviour you can help us win this legal action. We understand and appreciate that being a witness to or victim of ASB can be traumatic. We will fully support you every step of the way through any court case.

If you are experiencing ASB there is no need to suffer in silence. Our staff are trained to help and support you and we will work with you to solve the problem.
