The term ‘Anti-Social Behaviour’ covers any kind of nuisance, unreasonable behaviour or harassment. It also includes serious criminal activity. It has been defined as:
‘Any conduct of a manner that caused or was likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress to one or more persons not of the same household as the person who has acted thus’.
Housing Services is committed to working with its tenants to stop harassment and other forms of anti-social behaviour. The Council’s Tenancy Agreement describes anti-social behaviour as:
‘Behaviour that is likely to cause nuisance and harassment to others residing in, visiting or offering services in the locality’.

It is important to be tolerant of other people's lifestyles and to make an effort to get on with neighbours.
Behaviour that results from different lifestyles, or which would not be considered unreasonable by most people is not anti social.
