Anti-social behaviour
Tower Hamlets Homes is committed to tackling anti-social behaviour
in the neighbourhoods and homes we manage. We will support any
resident who is suffering from anti-social behaviour and take
action against those who behave in an anti-social way.Remember – in
an emergency call 999.
Anti-social behaviour is distressing and has a
negative effect on people’s lives and wellbeing.Examples of
antisocial behaviour include:
- noise nuisance
- graffiti
- drug dealing and taking
- vandalism
- youth disorder
- setting off fireworks.
If you are experiencing anti-social behaviour
or are worried about nuisance activity where you live, please
contact us and let us know. We can investigate your report and help
tackle it.
We have a number of ways to deal with
anti-social behaviour and a range of powers that we can use against
those who act in an anti-social way. We work closely with our
partners such as the Police and the Council to eliminate antisocial
behaviour and reduce the likelihood of anti-social behaviour
happening in the future.
If you are experiencing antisocial behaviour
and report it to us we will make sure that you are supported and we
will keep in touch with you so that you know what is happening.
Hate incidents
Hate incidents are directed at someone because
of any actual or perceived aspect of their identity. For example,
hate incidents would include attacks against people who are
disabled, or threatening behaviour towards people because of their
faith or sexual orientation.
We do not tolerate any form of discrimination or victimisation.
If you experience a hate incident we can offer specific support,
including making a referral to specialist organisations who can
help.
Domestic violence
We can offer support to those
experiencing domestic violence or abuse that is happening in the
home from a partner, a family member or someone else who has access
to your home. Please contact us for a confidential discussion about
how we can help. We can offer advice, make referrals to other
organisations and support victims to stay in their home or to move
to another property.
