DEALING WITH ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR

Defining Anti-social Behaviour Anti-social behaviour is any “behaviour that unreasonably interferes with the rights of others to quiet enjoyment of their home and its surroundings, and/or that is likely to cause nuisance, annoyance, fear or distress to another person or persons.”

Examples of Anti-social Behaviour Youth gangs on estates Young people congregating on estates in a way that causes molestation, or fear for other residents Any unruly behaviour by young people Trespassing in residents’ gardens Noise Conflicts, including harassment Insulting, aggressive or violent behaviour, including domestic violence Racist incidents Litter or rubbish dumping Graffiti and vandalism Uncontrolled pets Using or selling illegal drugs Nuisance from vehicles, including illegal parking, repairing and abandonment Gardens that are not kept to a decent standard, looking unattended and uncared for on a prolonged basis Untidy gardens with litter and debris

What We Aim to Achieve Minimise the likelihood of anti-social behaviour occurring through effective preventative measures Establish preventative measures as an alternative to costly enforcement action Encourage relevant agencies to accept their responsibility to implement legislation. We will also co-operate with relevant agencies to tackle anti-social behaviour and use appropriate enforcement action, including legal action, to resolve the problem of anti-social behaviour (where required).

Measures for Tackling Anti-social Behaviour Issuing of clear and firm warnings Multi-agency approach Use of mediation services Use of professional witnesses Use of CCTV cameras Practical support through our staff or other agencies for witnesses and victims of anti-social behaviour Exclusions from our waiting list
