We want our tenants to live peacefully with each other in their communities and to enjoy their homes without the nuisance and annoyance that inconsiderate or anti-social behaviour can cause.  We understand our responsibility to support tenants so that they can enjoy their home environment.   

Our tenants also have a responsibility to make sure that their actions, the actions of their household or visitors who come to and from their homes do not interfere with their neighbours’ quiet enjoyment of their communities. 

 

You can find our Anti-social Behaviour Policy here

 

If you are concerned about anti-social behaviour, please contact us on 01620 829 300 or email us at info@homesforlife.co.uk

  

If the matter is urgent and/or out of hours you can contact the Community Wardens on:

You may remain anonymous at all times. 

 

You may be asked to keep a record of incidents, detailing the nature and time of the anti-social behaviour. This is needed to help understand the extent of behaviour and aids decision making on what action can be taken. This diary can also be used as evidence in court if required.
