Bolton at Home and Bolton Council work closely together to help support residents, local businesses and landlords in the Private Sector who are suffering from Anti Social Behaviour.
Anti social Behaviour can include the following examples:
* Problems with children/youths
* Noise nuisance
* Violent criminal behaviour
* Racial Harassment
* Intimidation
* Drug Dealing
Private Sector Anti Social Behaviour Officers
Dedicated Anti Social Behaviour (ASB) Officers working within targeted the areas of Halliwell and Tonge have forged new links and partnerships with private landlords, local businesses, residents and other agencies to tackle problems in the private sector.
Numerous requests for assistance, advice and complaints have been received and the ASB Officers have supported landlords and residents with excellent results. Check these successfully dealt with case examples:
Are neighbouring properties letting you down?
A private landlord asked us to investigate and take action on disrepair and an accumulation of rubbish at a neighbouring property. The landlord felt the conditions were affecting his ability to attract prospective tenants.
Are tenants happy with their neighbours?
A private tenant reported problems with a noisy neighbour who frequently played loud music whilst working on a car outside their property.
Is your tenant behaving responsibly?
A resident complained that private tenants next door were responsible every weekend for a high number of visitors, loud music, shouting, littering of beer cans and bottles in the street.
All the above problems were resolved successfully together with private landlords and residents helping to sustain existing tenancies and attract new tenants into an improved environment.
If problems are not dealt with, tenants and residents may vacate properties and neighbourhoods, choosing instead to live in areas where higher property and tenancy management standards are available from alternative housing providers.
