Let’s talk community safety

29/06/2026

Your safety at home and in your neighbourhood matters to us. That’s why we’re taking part in Antisocial Behaviour Awareness Week (29 June-5 July) – sharing clear information, support, and simple ways to report concerns in your community.

What is antisocial behaviour?

Antisocial behaviour (or ASB) is behaviour that causes nuisance, alarm or distress, and can make you feel upset, unsafe or uncomfortable in your area.

It could be loud noise that keeps you up at night, vandalism, harassment, public drinking, or other activities that disrupt the peace.

If something doesn’t feel right, it’s okay to speak up.

We’re here to help

Our Community Safety team is here to listen and support you. Whether you’re experiencing antisocial behaviour, are worried about your safety or wellbeing, or are concerned about someone else, we’ll work with you and our partners to:

  • Understand what’s happening
  • Agree the right next steps
  • Take action where needed
  • Support you through the process

Every situation is different, so our Community Safety Officers will take the time to understand your circumstances and find the right solution. Their focus is on helping you feel safe in your home and community.

How to report antisocial behaviour

If you’re experiencing or witnessing antisocial behaviour, please let us know. Reporting it helps us take action and make things safer for everyone.

Visit our ‘How to report ASB’ page to learn more about the different types of ASB, how to report concerns,  the support we can offer, and what happens next.

Report antisocial behaviour

You said, we listened

Last summer, a group of residents worked with us to review our Antisocial Behaviour policy and the way we respond to reports of ASB.

They told us they wanted:

  • Clearer information about ASB
  • To feel listened to and supported
  • Easier ways to report issues
  • Regular updates and clear next steps

Residents also told us it’s important to be clear about how we work with partners such as the Police and local Council.

In response, we’ve updated our Antisocial Behaviour policy and guidance to make information easier to understand, improve communication about what happens next, and make it simpler for residents to report concerns and get support.

Antisocial and Nuisance Behaviour Policy

We’ve also launched our new Community Safety hub, bringing together information on antisocial behaviour, safeguarding, domestic abuse and other community safety concerns in one place – making it easier for you to find the right information and support.

Together, we can keep our communities safe, supportive and welcoming for everyone.
