One Housing Group is committed to improving the lives of tenants and the communities they live in by taking action to stop anti-social behaviour. To do this effectively we need you to help us by reporting any ASB as soon as possible.
Anti social behaviour is any behaviour that could cause a nuisance to you or any other person, (such as visitors to the area) regardless of whether they are one of our residents or not. It is also the unlawful use of our properties.
Anti-Social Behaviour arises out of inconsiderate acts, patterns of behaviour or targeted actions that cause nuisance, such as:
-
Hate related incidents on any grounds e.g. race, religion, sexuality, disability, age etc
-
Verbal abuse and threats of violence
-
Domestic violence and abuse
- Damage to property
-
Alcohol related disorder
- Noise nuisance
- Environmental nuisance
- Nuisance from vehicles
-
Unruly pets and animals, causing nuisance
- Other criminal behaviour.
What can I do if I see, hear or experience anti social behaviour?
Please contact us so we can give you advice and support and take appropriate action. We consider your safety to be of paramount importance. Please remember, criminal acts should always be reported to the police first of all.
What can we do to help?
One Housing Group treats all cases of anti social behaviour seriously and sympathetically. We respect your views and confidentiality and we adopt a 'twin-track' approach balancing enforcement with appropriate support and protection. In extreme cases we, will enforce the terms of the tenancy agreements.
How will my concerns be addressed?
Your Neighbourhood/Housing Officer will talk to you about your problems and then agree a reasonable course of action with you. They will not take any action that you are not comfortable with. You will be kept informed throughout the management of your case.
We also employ anti-social behaviour co-ordinators to assist the Regional teams in managing and investigating ASB cases.
The Government Respect Agenda
"Anti social behaviour ruins lives; it doesn't just make life unpleasant, it prevents the renewal of disadvantaged areas and creates an environment where more serious crime can occur".
One Housing Group is committed to improving the lives of tenants and the communities they live in by taking action to stop anti-social behaviour by people who have no respect for others. We will try and find solutions where possible.
