Anti Social Behaviour

This section gives advice on what to do if you experience anti social behaviour.  Although many types of anti social or disorderly behaviour may not necessarily amount to a crime we understand that low level, persistent disturbance can severely affect the quality of life in local communities.  Types of behaviour that may be considered anti social include the following:

•    Noise
•    Verbal abuse
•    Intimidation
•    Rubbish dumping
•    Overgrown gardens
•    Criminal or violent behaviour
•    Using homes for unlawful purposes such as selling drugs
•    Vandalism
•    Vehicle related nuisance
•    Nuisance from pets and animals
•    Domestic violence and abuse
•    Alcohol, drug or solvent abuse
•    Harassment 

The Anti Social Behaviour Act 2003 defines anti social behaviour as:

“Conduct which is capable of causing nuisance or annoyance to any person and directly or indirectly relates to or affects the housing management functions of a relevant association”

Or

“Conduct which consists of or involves using or threatening to use housing accommodation owned by or managed by a relevant landlord for an unlawful purpose”.

We will use these criteria to assess whether an incident is considered to be anti social behaviour.

Our Anti Social Behaviour policy sets out how the Radian group will approach the prevention, management and tackling of such conduct.  All references to the Group in this Anti-Social Behaviour Policy include all organisations which form part of it, including Longwood Park.
