Anti-social behaviour can include various types of behaviour, for example, abandoning cars, vandalism, graffiti, noisy parties, littering and youth nuisance. The FLAG (Fighting Litter, Abandoned cars and Graffiti) team and Community Safety Wardens respond to reports of anti-social behaviour, and take the appropriate action. Clearing litter, removing graffiti, or organising activities for young people are just some of the ways we are tackling anti-social behaviour.
The Council has the power to tackle anti-social behaviour regardless of whether the person is a council tenant, private tenant, homeowner or an organisation. It has obtained many anti-social behaviour orders, which prohibit the offender from specific anti-social activities, or from going to particular places where they have caused a nuisance. Offenders can also be prohibited from contacting certain people who are known to cause trouble with them. Anti-social behaviour orders are a very effective way to deal with these types of problems.
