Anti-social behaviour
Anti-social behaviour is defined by law as conduct that has caused or is likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress to any person. It covers many types of behaviour that vary in nature and severity, many of which are open to interpretation. Thus what is considered anti-social by one person can be acceptable to another.
Types of behaviour that could constitute as antisocial behaviour include (but are not limited to):
- noise nuisance
- intimidation and, or threatening behaviour
- littering or fly-tipping
- vandalism, graffiti and other deliberate damage to property or vehicles
- using or dealing drugs
- street drinking
- rowdy behaviour in public
- abandoned or burnt out cars
- arson
- neighbour nuisance
The Safer Lincolnshire Partnership's current focus area is neighbourhood related antisocial behaviour, such as neighbour disputes and noise. Partners (inc. police, district councils and housing providers) are working together to ensure the necessary mechanism are in place to effectively tackle this type of antisocial behaviour and protect victims and communities from harm.
If you are a victim of antisocial behaviour and feel there is an immediate risk call 999.
Alternatively:
- Phone 101 or,
- Report your complaint online to Lincolnshire Police or your district council or housing provider.
You do not have to put up with antisocial behaviour.
Noise Complaints
Nuisance noise is any loud or persistent noise that causes you ongoing concern or affects your quality of life. Your district council should be the first contact for reporting nuisance noise, unless the noise is from people being inconsiderate in a public place, in which case you can report it to the police.
