How you can deal with anti-social behaviour
There are a number of things you can do yourself before
contacting your local housing office.
- If appropriate speak to your neighbour. Explain how the
situation affects you. You may be surprised to know how often
neighbours are unaware of the upset they are causing.
- Try to be polite, friendly and calm.
- Write a letter to tell them how their behaviour affects you.
Suggest what you think a reasonable compromise might be. Make a
note of any conversations you have with your neighbour and keep a
copy of any letters and replies.
- If the anti social behaviour continues, start a diary,
recording:
- Dates the anti social behaviour occurred
- Times the anti social behaviour occurred
- What type of anti social behaviour it is
- How the anti social behaviour affects you
- Who is responsible
- Details of any witnesses to any anti social behaviour
Diary sheets are available from your local office or using the
online form.
