Background

The housing services team can only deal with anti-social behaviour complaints from council tenants; if the complaint is regarding a non-council tenant this must be referred to the health and environmental services team.

Anti-social behaviour can include:

  • Condition of Property / Garden

If you wish to make a complaint regarding the above, follow the same procedures as detailed under noise nuisance.


Frequently Asked Questions

Q Is it my responsibility to maintain my garden?

A You must keep your garden tidy by cutting the lawn and trimming the hedges. If the garden is overgrown - and there is no good reason why you cannot maintain it - the Council can clear it and charge you for the work.

Q If I make a complaint can I remain anonymous?

A Yes, if requested and where appropriate.

Q What happens if I can't look after my garden?

A If you are registered disabled or elderly, with no local relatives you can request to be placed on the Assisted gardens scheme.
