Tackling anti-social behaviour

We believe that all our tenants have the right to live the way they choose, so long as they do not spoil the quality of life of others.

We define anti-social behaviour as being which causes annoyance, nuisance or disturbance to any other person in the area.

Examples of anti-social behaviour can range from rubbish dumping and playing music too loudly to more serious criminal activity like vandalism, threatening behaviour, domestic violence or drug dealing.

We aim to make all our developments peaceful and secure places to live and do so by working in partnership with residents and other agencies to:

• Take action against any form of anti-social behaviour.
• Respond to complaints quickly, sensitively and consistently.
• Offer support to victims and take action against those responsible.
• Promote initiatives that focus on the prevention of anti-social behaviour including mediation, multi-agency partnerships and the use of tools such as Acceptable Behaviour Agreements.
