What action can the council take?<br />
In all cases where we are satisfied that a complaint is justified, we will<br />
work with the perpetrators to encourage them to change their behaviour<br />
at an early stage, before it becomes more serious.<br />
We will use a range of methods, including:<br />
4 Mediation<br />
4 Written <strong>and</strong> verbal warnings<br />
4 Joint visits with other agencies, such as the Police<br />
4 Acceptable Behaviour Contracts<br />
4 Referrals to independent advice <strong>and</strong> support agencies.<br />
In addition to asking you to keep a diary of any incidents that you have<br />
witnessed, we will also talk to our partners in other agencies to try <strong>and</strong><br />
gather more evidence about a case. These agencies can include the<br />
Police, Fire Service, Social Services, or other council departments.<br />
If the problem continues after we have tried the methods above, we can<br />
then take further action which includes:<br />
4 Extending introductory tenancies<br />
4 Possession order<br />
4 Demotion order<br />
4 Injunction<br />
4 Referral to agencies who offer intensive support, such as Family<br />
Intervention Projects<br />
4 Anti-social behaviour order<br />
4 Eviction.<br />
It is important to note that eviction is only taken as a last resort in the<br />
most serious of circumstances, <strong>and</strong> will not be appropriate in every case.<br />
