ASB-Our Approach
Hightown supports the “Respect Agenda” and recognises the importance of tackling Anti-Social Behaviour and the effect it has on residents, estates and communities. For more information on the Respect Agenda please visit www.respect.gov.uk.
Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) comes in many forms. It can be anything from low-level, persistent nuisance to serious violence and other criminal behaviour
Some examples are:
- Harassment - including racial harassment, aggressive and threatening language and behaviour. To download our Policy on Racial and Other Harassment click here.
- Actual violence against a people or property
- Pets allowed to cause a nuisance
- Noise, often late at night e.g. loud music
- Obstructing communal areas
- Anti social parking and abandoned vehicles
- Vandalism
- Graffiti
- Litter and rubbish dumping
We aim to take a balanced but firm approach between preventative, supportive and enforcement methods and where we can we will take a multi-agency approach to tackling problems.
