Anti-social behaviour and local authorities

Neighbour noise can be part of a more serious neighbour problem. Under the Housing Act 1996 social landlords can take action against tenants for anti-social behaviour. The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 gives councils and the police the authority to apply to the Magistrates Court for an Anti-Social Behaviour Order (ASBO) to anyone causing “harassment, alarm or distress” - this can include noise.

If you do not want to contact Cheshire Constabulary about anti-social behaviour, you can contact your local authority. Many councils and housing associations have anti-social behaviour co-ordinators.
