Tackling anti-social behaviour
We have made tackling anti-social behaviour a priority by working with the Community Safety Partnership to make sure Brentwood is a better place to live, work and visit.
What anti-social behaviour is
Anti-social behaviour can include:
- littering
- fly tipping
- graffiti or vandalism
- intimidation or harassment
- abandoned vehicles
- illegal street trading
- alcohol, tobacco or fireworks being sold to children
- drinking on the street
Report anti-social behaviour
If you feel you're in immediate danger, call the police on 999.
You can also report anti-social behaviour online.
Reporting anti-social behaviour occurring in a council property or on council housing land
We take matters of harassment and nuisance seriously, so if you're suffering nuisance caused by a council tenant or another leaseholder, we advise you to contact us online.
It's often the case that a solution to the problem will be found by offering mediation between the persons making the complaint and the persons causing the nuisance. However, if no solution can be found and the nuisance continues, we may ultimately apply to the Courts for forfeiture of the lease of the person causing the nuisance, or in the case of a tenant, eviction from their rented property.
To report an incident that's not included in the list above, you can fill out the our general enquiry form and your report will be passed to the appropriate service or agency.
Alternatively, you can telephone Essex Police on 101 (for non emergencies), the Council on 01277 312500 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
