This week is Anti-social Behaviour Week 2025. We are highlighting the significant steps we have taken to improve how residents can report and access support for anti-social behaviour (ASB).
In November 2024, the Council engaged with communities across the city through surveys and direct conversations to understand how effectively the Council, police, and housing providers respond to anti-social behaviour.
One of the key findings from this feedback was that residents were often unsure who to report ASB to, and what information they needed to provide. In response, we have taken action to make improvements.
We have since updated our dedicated anti-social behaviour webpage. The improved page now clearly defines what counts as anti-social behaviour, outlines which organisations are responsible for dealing with different types of ASB, and explains how residents can report it effectively.
A new online reporting form has also been launched, allowing residents to report concerns quickly.
Councillor Ndukwe Onuoha, Cabinet Member for Streetpride, Public Safety and Leisure, said:
Listening to residents was vital in helping us understand where we needed to improve. Thanks to their feedback, we’ve made it easier for people to report anti-social behaviour, and we’re already seeing the benefits. We’re dealing with reports more efficiently and working better with our partners to tackle these issues head-on.
If you see something that you feel may be anti-social behaviour, please visit our updated website and report it if necessary. By working together, we can make Derby a safer place for everyone."
As a result of these changes, we are now receiving more detailed and useful information from the public. This has enabled quicker responses, improved investigations, and strengthened collaborative working between us and our partners.
