Make a complaint through the Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Case Review
You can apply for an ASB case review:
- If you have made three or more qualifying complaints of anti-social behaviour within the last six months,
- be five individuals in the local community who have separately reported similar incidents, where you all feel dissatisfied with the action taken and all agree that they want to raise the case review
Each of the incidents need to have been reported within one month of them taking place and you must apply for case review within six months of the latest incident. The victim can be a business, individual or a community group.
You may be able to escalate your complaint through the Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Case Review 
(65 KB). This was previously called the Community Trigger.
The ASB Case Review exists to review previous actions and make recommendations through an action plan if appropriate. It does not replace the need to report incidents when they happen.
Before you consider this option, please attempt to contact the Community Safety Team and they can try and resolve issues in partnership. If you wish to escalate a complaint through the Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Case Review, please ring 101 and the information will be recorded and passed to the relevant authority.
We aim to acknowledge complaints within seven working days of receipt. We will see if your case meets the criteria and report back with next steps.
