Anti-social behaviour is any kind of behaviour or activity that has a negative impact on other people. It can take many different forms, from graffiti, verbal abuse and noise nuisance to fly-tipping and abandoned vehicles.
These are court orders, which can be used to tackle persistent anti-social behaviour. The orders prevent people from engaging in specified forms of anti-social behaviour and protect the public from behaviour likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress. The terms are specific to the individual to whom the order is issued. Individuals can be arrested for breaching the order and could be subject to a fine or a prison sentence.
These can be issued to a person who has committed anti-social behaviour. The contracts are signed in the presence of a police officer and member of staff from Slough Borough Council or People 1st. The conditions of the contract vary depending on the individual and the circumstances but require the person who signs not to behave in a way that causes harassment, alarm or distress to others. Individuals cannot be arrested for breaching these contracts, but the contracts can be used as evidence for Anti-Social Behaviour Orders (ASBOs).
When children under the age of 10 have committed anti-social behaviour the parents can be asked to sign a contract to agree to control their child. These are signed in the presence of a police officer and a member of Slough Borough Council or People 1st.
Please note that Slough Borough Council will not get involved with civil matters. If appropriate we can use independent trained mediators to help resolve a problem such as a neighbour dispute.
