Anti-social behaviour

What you can do if you are affected by anti-social behaviour

You can report anti-social behaviour if you need help from us or the police.

But you should first make sure that you are speaking to the right people.

Anti-social behaviour is defined as:

Anti-social behaviour can affect one person or groups of people. It can also include:

  • fear of crime
  • concern for public safety
  • public disorder
  • public nuisance

If you think your problem falls under anti-social behaviour, complete a referral form to contact us.
