Anti Social Behaviour

Anti social behaviour - what is it and what you can do about it.
Antisocial Behaviour - what it is and how to report it
Antisocial behaviour is defined as 'behaviour by a person which causes, or is likely to cause, harassment, alarm or distress to persons not of the same household as the person' (Antisocial Behaviour Act 2003 and Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011). But what does this mean? Find out more about how we classify antisocial behaviour and the many activities that it covers.
Abandoned vehicles and nuisance parking
Neighbours parking in your space or across your driveway, and people abandoning vehicles on the street can seem like a matter for the police. However, the first point of contact is very often your local authority. Here you can learn more about what constitutes nuisance parking and what to do if it’s affecting you.
Annoying phone calls or unwanted visits
Unsolicited phone calls and knocks at your door can be annoying, but persistent or malicious calls and visits can be unpleasant and even intimidating. Find out below the common types of caller and what you can do about them.
Fireworks
Everyone should be able to enjoy fireworks safely, whether at an organised display or in their back garden. Here you’ll find out the law around using fireworks as well as how to stay safe, and report those using fireworks in a dangerous or threatening way.
Noise Nuisance
Nuisance noise is any loud or persistent noise that causes you ongoing concern or affects your quality of life. Your local council should be your first contact for reporting nuisance noise as this isn’t usually a matter for the police. Find out more about the different types of noise nuisance and how to report it.
Report to Local Council
Pot holes, road repairs, dog fouling, missing pets and many more issues are not the responsibility of the police but that of the local authority - reporting details can be found here.
Syringes found
Discarded drug litter such as used syringes and needles can cause serious health issues and must be reported immediately. If you find a needle or syringe on public land or council premises. Find out how to report to your local Council Teams.
