Anti-social behaviour can involve incidents from minor nuisances, noise and neighbour disputes through to serious violence and intimidation. It can also be defined as behaviour by a person which causes or is likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress to one or more persons not of the same household as the person.
The Co-operative understands the effects of neighbour nuisance, anti-social behaviour and harassment on individual tenants and communities and take this very seriously. We ask that you act reasonably and take others into consideration and respect the values and lifestyles of others within your neighbourhood and community.
Where necessary we will use the most robust measures available to stop anti- social behaviour. We do our best to resolve complaints of this type as early as possible.
We want you, your family and your neighbours to enjoy living in your home in a happy and safe community.
What should I do if I experience or witness Anti-social Behaviour?
Should you experience any anti-social behaviour during our office hours please contact your Housing Officer, Joanna McNally/Susan Kane.
If outwith these hours please refer to the guidance below and when the office re-opens you must report the behaviour to your Housing Officer.
Anti-Social Response Team
