Anti-social behaviour actions

Action we can take

We take a different approach to solve the problems caused by anti-social behaviour depending on what has happened in each case. The officer dealing with your problem will agree with you the best action to take, which could include:

• verbal or written warnings to the person or people involved
• acceptable behaviour agreements/contracts
• referrals to specialist support organisations and safeguarding organisations
• court orders or injunctions to prevent further problems
• possession proceedings including mandatory possession
• eviction as ordered by the court.

Further advice

If you'd like more advice, please contact us.

Alternatively, if you want to take your own legal action, we recommend that you contact a solicitor or the Citizens Advice Bureau for advice.

Your right to ask for an anti-social behaviour case review

If you have reported the same anti-social behaviour issue at least three times in the past six months and the issue is still taking place, you have the right to ask for an anti-social behaviour case review.

The review involves all of the agencies that have been dealing with your case and will look at whether anything further can be done to resolve the issues you have reported.

It is important to note that an anti-social behaviour case review is not a complaints procedure.

To ask for an anti-social behaviour case review, you will need to follow the process published by your local council.
