Antisocial behaviour
We know from our consultation and through our engagement with residents that anti-social behaviour is a concern for our communities, particularly in parks and green spaces and in town centres at night. That’s why the Council has significantly invested in this area to tackle the issue head on.
Anti-social behaviour is a range of behaviours that can cause nuisance and annoyance, or harm and distress to a person. It’s a wide range of unacceptable activity, and includes things like:-
- Noise – including loud music, banging, DIY at unsocial hours, loud parties, frequent visitors at unsocial hours
- Shouting, swearing and fighting
- Intimidation through threats or actual violence
- Harassment
- Verbal abuse
- Abusive behaviour aimed at causing distress or fear to certain people; for example, elderly or disabled people
- Driving in an inconsiderate or careless way; for example, drivers congregating in an area for racing/car cruising
- Vandalism, property damage and graffiti
- Anti-social drinking
