Request an anti-social behaviour Community Trigger

A Community Trigger is designed to give victims of anti-social behaviour the right to request a review of their case and bring agencies together to take a joined-up, problem solving approach.

The main aim of the Community Trigger process is to find a solution to the core problem causing the anti-social behaviour.

It cannot be used to report incidents of anti-social behaviour.

Report anti-social behaviour

Report anti-social behaviour to us.

Who can request a Community Trigger?

Individuals, businesses, or community groups can request a Community Trigger if:

• you have reported three separate incidents of anti-social behaviour relating to the same problem in the past six months to your local council, the police or your landlord and you feel you have had an inadequate response.

• Or at least five people have made reports to these organisations about the same problem in the past six months.

If you do not meet the criteria, you will not be able to request a Community Trigger to be initiated.
