Report it! You can report anti-social behaviour to the council on 01302 736000 or the police on 101. We'll respond 24/7 to incidents.

The Council and Partners recognise that anti-social behaviour has a significant impact on individuals and communities.

You do not have to suffer in silence and therefore we urge anyone experiencing anti-social behaviour to report it.

Where anti-social behaviour is affecting a community the public can raise their concerns at P.A.C.T (Partners and Communities Together) meetings.
