What can you do about ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR?

Before taking any action think about the problem...

Do the people committing the anti-social behaviour realise they are causing a nuisance?

Youths congregating in large groups may be doing nothing wrong but they can look intimidating to some people.

Neighbours may not be aware their behaviour is causing concern.

An untidy garden could mean someone is unable to take care of it through illness or disability. Where possible, find out first.

If you decide to talk to the person responsible for anti-social behaviour it may help to consider the following:

Step 1

Let the person know there is a problem. Be calm and polite as they may not know they are causing you any distress

Step 2

Ask them for some of their time to talk about the problem. You may wish to take a friend with you if you do not want to go on your own

Step 3

If you still feel concerned, write a polite letter to re address the problem

Step 4
