Anti-social behaviour
Our approach to anti-social behaviour
Anti-social behaviour and neighbour nuisance ranges from annoyances like barking dogs or loud music to more serious issues such as harassment and violence.
As a landlord we want our neighbourhoods to be free from anti-social behaviour and we strive to provide an environment in which people are happy to live. We work to prevent anti-social behaviour occurring on our estates by the sensitive design of new homes and refurbishment programmes, and through our allocations, involvement and estate management policies delivered by our staff.
We know from talking to customers that most people do not suffer from anti-social behaviour. But, we also know that for the minority of people who suffer problems this can be a major area of concern, so tackling and preventing anti-social behaviour is a priority. We will work in close partnership with residents, the police, councils and other agencies to address this, and provide a joint, consistent and effective approach to tackling anti-social behaviour.
