Got a problem with anti-social behaviour but not sure who to report it to?

Our neighbourhood officers and PCSOs work with residents and local organisations to find solutions to anti-social behaviour and other local issues.

There are several different types of anti-social behaviour. Some are dealt with by police, some by your local council and some by other agencies.

Please have a look at our checklist so see which organisation to contact for help.

Make a police report if you experience:

  • Dealing/taking of drugs and drinking alcohol in the street
  • Gangs and youths drinking in parks
  • Vandalism
  • Harassment/intimidation
  • Dangerous dogs
  • Misuse of fireworks
  • Nuisance driving including quad bikes
  • Begging

Make a report to your local council if you experience:

  • Flytipping/littering/waste on land
  • Dog fouling
  • Abandoned vehicles
  • Graffiti
  • Stray dogs
  • Nuisance noise
  • Parking issues (except for obstructions)
  • Found syringes
