Neighbourhood nuisance - council tenancies
The Housing Unit has a procedure for dealing with nuisance and anti-social behaviour. This may include loud music, noisy gatherings of people in communal areas, or nuisance caused by inconsiderate visitors.
Your Housing Officer can discuss the various remedies available with you if you are experiencing problems. Initially, the Council will seek to resolve the problem by negotiation or mediation but if problems persist then the Council can consider taking legal action against the perpetrator. This may include Possession Proceedings. In some cases it may be appropriate to work with the Police and obtain an Anti-Social Behaviour Order. If the problem is one of excessive noise in a neighbouring property we can work with Environmental Health Officers to resolve the problem.
Our aim is to enable the Council's tenants to live peacefully in their homes, but if you are having problems, contact your Housing Officer.
There is also a procedure for dealing with cases of racial harassment or abuse. Download a nuisance log sheet on which you can record incidents.
