Report antisocial behaviour
Antisocial behaviour (ASB) is defined as behaviour which causes, or is likely to cause, harassment, alarm or distress to persons not in the same household.
What should be reported
You should report any behaviour that makes you feel unsafe, or you feel may make others unsafe. This includes:
- drug-related ASB such as drug use or dealing
- youth-related ASB and suspected gang activity
- threatening behaviour, verbal and physical threats and abuse
- vandalism and property damage.
- using a property to sell drugs or for any other illegal activity
- harassment including incidents based on race, gender, religion, disability, or sexual orientation
- dog-related ASB
- graffiti or flyposting such as sticking posters on walls and other public property
- littering or fly-tipping from an individual, business or vehicle on the streets, pavements or green spaces

What happens after you report antisocial behaviour
Once we receive your report you will receive an acknowledgement with a reference number within two working days. Following this, an ASB Officer in Community Safety will review the information and aim to contact you within 7 working days.
The officer will assess the nature of the reported behaviour, any risks to those affected, and the impact on the wider community. Where appropriate, a risk assessment will be completed and an initial action plan developed.
Your report will then be allocated to the officer best placed to investigate and manage the case. Depending on the circumstances, this may be a Neighbourhood Housing Officer, an ASB Officer, or a Community Safety Officer.
The allocated officer will take responsibility for the case, carry out any necessary investigation, and work with relevant partners to identify the most appropriate and proportionate response.
Not every report will result in a new ASB case being opened. Some reports may be linked to an existing case or retained as intelligence to help identify patterns of behaviour and inform future action.
