Crime Prevention & reporting Anti-social Behaviour

Dear Resident

Anti-social behaviour can have a significant impact on individuals, families and communities. Reporting incidents helps agencies build a clearer picture of the issues affecting your area and take appropriate action.

🔍 What Is Anti-Social Behaviour?

Anti-social behaviour can include:

🔊 Excessive noise or nuisance behaviour

🍺 Street drinking and disorderly conduct

🚲 Dangerous or reckless use of bicycles, e-scooters or vehicles

🗑️ Vandalism, graffiti and criminal damage

👥 Intimidating behaviour, harassment or persistent neighbour disputes

💻 Report Online Many anti-social behaviour incidents can be reported through your local police force website, allowing you to provide detailed information and supporting evidence where appropriate.

🏠 Report to Your Housing Provider or Local Authority Some issues, particularly neighbour disputes, noise complaints, environmental issues or tenancy-related concerns, may be more appropriately dealt with by your landlord, housing association or local council.

📝 What Information Should You Provide?

✅ What happened

✅ When and where it occurred

✅ Descriptions of those involved

✅ Vehicle registrations, if relevant

✅ Any photographs, video footage or witness details

📖 Keeping a diary of repeated incidents can also help agencies identify patterns and support enforcement action.

💙 Remember

Don't assume someone else has reported it. What may appear to be a minor issue on its own could form part of a wider problem affecting your community.

By reporting anti-social behaviour, you're helping police and partner agencies understand what's happening locally and take action where needed.

See it. Report it. Help keep your community safe.
