USEFUL INFORMATION & CONTACT DETAILS

Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB)

 

ASB is not always easy to recognise. What one person considers to be antisocial behaviour, another person may not. Antisocial behaviour is is a wide range of unacceptable activities such as:

  • Environmental antisocial behaviour eg vandalism, graffiti, antisocial drinking, animal nuisance, arson

  • Noise nuisance eg loud music or parties, noisy DIY late at night

  • Household disputes eg shouting, swearing, fighting

  • Harassment and intimidation – eg intimidation, threats, actual violence, abusive behaviour, verbal abuse

 

Antisocial behaviour is not about parking issues (including badly parked vehicles), children playing, groups of young people in the street or in parks (unless they are being rowdy, abusive, causing damage or committing other crimes), noise caused by everyday living, religious or cultural practice, one-off parties, or general living noise.
