Here's how to tell us (and others) about different antisocial behaviour issues

Here’s a deeper look at some antisocial behaviour issues and how to report them:

Reporting antisocial behaviour

To report antisocial behaviour or a tenancy breach (check: www.boltonathome.org.uk/tackling-asb for examples of these) to us, you can:

Complex cases may involve multiple agencies. For environmental issues (such as fly tipping), we partner with the local council. Crimes should be reported directly to the Police for their investigatory powers.

To learn more about how we’ll deal with antisocial behaviour and what happens when you report it to us, you can watch this short video from John Molloy, our Head of Neighbourhood Safety and Enforcement:

Suspected drug crime

We work with the Police to tackle drug crime. Please report any drug-related incidents to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111 or by visiting www.crimestoppers-uk.org. 

While we don’t lead on drug crime, any evidence linked to our properties will prompt an antisocial behaviour case. If you report drug crime to us, we’ll share the information you provide with the Police.

Handling hate crime

You’re a victim of a hate incident if you experience hostility or prejudice towards you because of things that make you, you. Someone might target your:

  • Race
  • Religion
  • Sexual orientation
  • Disability
  • Gender/gender identity
  • Or subculture
  • ..to abuse you, vandalise your property, or harass you.

We condemn all forms of hate crime, which are often under-reported. By reporting them if they happen to you or someone else, you can help us, the Police, and other members of the Be Safe Partnership, to understand the extent of hate crime in your local area so we can deal with it more effectively. 

Your actions could prevent incidents from happening again and stop others from being victimised.

You can report hate crime:
