Anti social behaviour

Anti social behaviour includes a range of problems such as noisy neighbours, abandoned cars, vandalism, graffiti, litter and youth nuisance. Our Anti Social Behaviour policy aims to deal with issues like these and improve the overall well-being and quality of life for the communities of Bolsover District. It covers the following:

• behaviour that can cause nuisance and annoyance
• behaviour likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress
• behaviour which creates significant and persistent problems in neighbourhoods
• behaviour which leaves communities feeling intimidated and afraid.

If you are experiencing anti social behaviour of any kind then please report this to us via our Self Service portal so we can investigate and deal with it as soon as possible.

Parenting

We would like to achieve a future in which any parent within the District who needs support will know where to turn and be able to benefit from a range of appropriate and accessible services. Improving parents' skills, taking preventative measures and using enforcement action to reduce anti social behaviour will contribute to strengthening communities.

We recognise that the majority of parents in the District do a good job, often in challenging circumstances. Below are some useful links ranging from general information through to specialist services including access to evidence based parenting programmes and courses.
