Anti social behaviour is a very high profile issue that takes many forms and its effects can be very damaging on both individuals and communities. We take complaints of anti social behaviour very seriously and are committed to taking action against those people that are responsible for it.

In March 2006, the Council's Cabinet approved the revised Housing Anti Social Behaviour Strategy that had been developed and produced in partnership with tenant representatives, the Police and other stakeholders.

The objectives of our Anti Social Behaviour Strategy are:

Prevention

To prevent crime and antisocial behaviour by undertaking improvement schemes and to introduce measures and policies that will reduce, prevent and deter the opportunity for and incidence of, crime and antisocial behaviour in the housing stock and associated assets.

Enforcement

To improve the service to tenants or others reporting antisocial behaviour and to introduce measures that allow for more effective and broader based enforcement action against the perpetrators.

Community involvement

To engage tenants and other stakeholders in developing pleasant, safe communities where antisocial behaviour is recognised as being unacceptable, where those engaging in such behaviour can be readily identified and dealt with and to enable and empower tenants to assist in combating antisocial behaviour.
