Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) can be anything from low-level persistent nuisance to serious violent behaviour. It includes all behaviour that harms or has a negative effect on residents' quality of life in and around their homes, such as:
- Drunkenness and rowdy behaviour
- Public drug dealing
- Intimidating groups ‘taking over’ public spaces
- Noisy neighbours
- Loud music or televisions
- Refusing to silence dogs that bark non-stop
- Threats, intimidation and harassment
- Vandalism, graffiti, spray-painting or damaging private property
- Fly tipping and litter
- People dumping rubbish and abandoning cars
- The misuse of fireworks
- People who don’t clean up after their dogs
If the anti-social behaviour you are experiencing is severe or urgent - you should also speak to your local Police for further advice and information. Visit the Lancashire Police website here for details of your nearest station/officer.
