How do I report general incidents of Anti-Social Behaviour?
Nuisance Neighbours have a big impact on the community around them. Just one or two families can ruin other people’s lives because of their intimidation, harassment and criminal damage.
Rowdiness, excessive noise and animal-related problems are all examples of anti-social behaviour caused by nuisance neighbours.
Stopping nuisance neighbours - There are a range of powers that can be used to tackle nuisance neighbours.
- neighbours who make too much noise can be fined up to £5000 or have noisy equipment removed if warnings are ignored.
- local authorities, the police and social landlords can now apply for anti-social behaviour orders (ASBOs) and injunctions to curb an individual’s anti-social behaviour.
- social landlords can apply to the courts for a demoted tenancy or even evict tenants in severe cases
- properties in which class A drugs are supplied and used can be closed by the police
