🚫 Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) in Council Homes

In May 2024, we updated our Housing Anti-Social Behaviour Policy. This policy explains how we deal with anti-social behaviour (ASB) and hate incidents in the areas where we provide council homes.

We aim to take quick and fair action using all the tools and legal powers we have. We also help victims and those causing problems by pointing them to support services.

⚠️ What Is Anti-Social Behaviour?

ASB is when someone behaves in a way that causes trouble, upset, or danger to others. Examples include:

• Loud noise or music
• Threats, bullying, or physical attacks
• Hate incidents (targeting someone because of who they are)
• Using a council home for illegal activities
• Alcohol or drug misuse

👉 This is not a full list—other behaviours may also count as ASB.
