Report it
Reporting the incidents to us is the first step to hopefully finding a suitable resolution to your concerns, filling the form in and including your contact details means that the investigating officer can work closely with you and keep you updated with progress.
If we receive an anonymous complaint of anti-social behaviour, we shall investigate where possible. However we could be limited to what action we can take as we may require additional information, nor shall we be able to provide any feedback to the complainant.
If contact details are provided, we will not disclose this information without explicit permission from the complainant. We will respond within three working days explaining any actions that we may take and offering advice where appropriate.
How to use the Community Trigger
The community trigger helps victims of anti-social behaviour to force action on their issues.
Have you:

You'll receive a letter confirming:
