How to deal with anti-social behaviour:
Try speaking to the people causing the problem:
Before making a report about anti-social behaviour, you can try some of the following:
-
try speaking to the people that are causing the problem in a calm manner - they might not realise that it is affecting you
-
contact neighbours who may also be concerned and are prepared to help
-
keep a diary of events (including the date, time and problem) this can be vital intelligence in helping to support prosecutions or interventions
-
contact your local police (dial 101 if it is not an emergency)
-
consider launching a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme
