What action will be taken?
We work in partnership with the police in a joint crackdown on antisocial behaviour. With
good procedures in place we can ensure that when cases are reported, we take quick and effective
action. We will send warning letters and can take legal action up to and including eviction
depending on the level of offence.
With your permission we will interview the person and any witnesses and can use Acceptable Behaviour Contracts to curb the behaviour of children and young people. We can also use legal remedies like antisocial behaviour orders and injunctions.
If you are at risk we will provide you with extra security. We can give tenants causing antisocial behaviour a less secure tenancy (Demoted Tenancy).
