Antisocial behaviour |
Cartrefi Conwy takes unacceptable behaviour on our estates very seriously and we have a dedicated Anti Social Behaviour Unit which works in close partnership with a range of other agencies including North Wales Police.
Anti Social Behaviour comes in many forms, but generally it is behaviour that is selfish and unacceptable and has a negative effect on the quality of life in a community.
| What is Anti Social Behaviour? |
- Anti Social Behaviour is virtually any intimidating or threatening activity that scares you or damages your quality of life.
- Anti Social Behaviour does not just make life unpleasant, it holds back the regeneration of disadvantaged areas and creates an environment where more serious crime can take hold.
- Anti Social Behaviour has a negative effect on many people’s lives.
Briefly, the type of behaviour which might be considered to be Anti Social includes:
- Loud noise from televisions, radios, music centres, and so on
- Late-night parties
- Abandoned vehicles
- Nuisance caused by domestic animals
- Nuisance caused by children or guests; and
- Neglecting a garden or cleaning responsibilities.
More serious forms of Anti Social Behaviour includes:
- Serious incidents that break tenancy conditions
- Harassment
- Violence
- Verbal abuse
- Behaviour related to drug and / or alcohol abuse.
| What should i do? |
- Inform your Neighbourhood Co-ordinator from the start
- You should gather actual FACTS, not opinions
- Keep detailed and dated notes and communicate them to your neighbourhood co-ordinator regularly.
- Don’t judge your neighbours but try to remain neutral!
| If you feel that you are suffering from anti-social behaviour |
You should initially contact your Neighbourhood Co-ordinator at your area office (Llandudno 01492 805631 or Colwyn Bay 01492 805600).
Working together with the Anti-social Behaviour Unit, your Neighbourhood Co-ordinator will investigate the incident and keep you informed of their progress.

If the incident is outside of normal office hours, (including weekends and Bank Holidays) you can report it through the anti-social behaviour hotline phone number: 01492 517700. Although this phone number is staffed 24 hours a day, there may be times when the line is busy, in which case there will be an answer phone. If you do not get to speak to an operator, please leave a message about the incident. The hotline is not an alternative to reporting actual acts of crime to the North Wales Police. To contact the North Wales Police you can use the non-emergency number, 0845 6071002. If you are a witness to a crime, you should dial 999 immediately. Please make a note of the incident number the police give you as we may ask you for this later. For non emergency calls you should dial 101. The Hotline is NOT an alternative to reporting actual acts of crime to North Wales Police |
