What happens next?

At the first report stage, we will ask you how you want to be contacted and use this throughout the duration of your anti-social behaviour (ASB) issue.

As we work with you to resolve your ASB issue, we will:

  • agree an action plan with you.
  • keep in regular contact with you.
  • let you know when we will next be in contact with you.
  • keep all information and records relating to your issue confidential.
  • tell you what steps we plan to take to resolve your issue and what the expected outcome could be.

There are a number of follow up actions we can take against those individuals causing nuisance and ASB.

This action depends on the:

  • Type of incident and the impact on other residents.
  • Quality of the evidence and the availability of witnesses and their willingness to provide evidence.
