Reporting anti-social behaviour occurring in a council property or on council housing land
We takematters of harassment and nuisance seriously, so if you are suffering nuisance caused by a council tenant or another leaseholder, we advise you to contact us by completing the online form below:
It is often the case that a solution to the problem will be found by offering mediation between the person(s) making the complaint and the person(s) causing the nuisance. However, if no solution can be found and the nuisance continues, then 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 is not included in the list above please complete the our general enquiry form below 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.
If you would like further information please view our Anti-Social Behaviour Policy - 2019 pdf.
