Who is responsible for tackling anti-social behaviour?
If you are suffering as a result of anti‐social behaviour, you can expect your council and the police to treat the problem seriously, take action and then to report back to you what they have done.
In your area:
- Waltham Forest council has a team, to report anti-social behaviour, please call 020 8496 3000 and ask for the anti-social behaviour team and you can speak to a caseworker..
- You can also report problems to your Neighbourhood Policing Team at Cann Hall Police 020 8721 2036 or 07843 291116 for other local teams.
- If you are a tenant or leaseholder of a housing association or local authority, contact your landlord as they have powers to tackle problems too.
- Your local authority, social landlord and local police have many powers to deal with anti-social behaviour. Visit www.direct.gov.uk/localcrime to find out:
- What can be done about anti-social behaviour such as noisy neighbours or intimidating groups hanging around.
- The powers your local council can use to tackle anti-social behaviour – such as ASBOs, parenting orders and evictions.
- Waltham Forest council and local police record on using these powers to solve problems.
If you have reported anti-social behaviour, but do not feel that action has been taken, you can complain to your Neighbourhood Policing Team or to the council through their complaints procedure, to your local councillor, and ultimately the Local Government Ombudsman.
