Anti-social behaviour

Anti-Social Behaviour Policy agreed at council meeting October 2010

The Council has adopted a very strong position where acts of anti-social behaviour come to our attention. Offending tenants and / or their families will have their homes Re-possessded. Evictions will be carried out in all cases where tenants or members of their household are involved in drug dealing or allow their dwelling to be used for drug dealing.

How will the Council deal with tenants who engage in anti-social behaviour?

Where incidents of anti-social behaviour come to our attention, the matter will be fully investigated and if proven, immediate action to institute legal proceedings will be taken.

What can I do about anti-social neighbours?

If your neighbours are becoming a nuisance to you and they are tenants of the Council, don't assume that we already know about it! If you cannot resolve the issue yourself, please Contact the Tenant Liaison Officer in the the Housing Dept at 057 8664043, giving full details of the nature of the complaint and if relevant the dates/times of the incidents concerned.

If a horse is found to be in an unauthorised area we will arrange for the horse to be impounded.

Any complaints or reports of Anti-social behaviour made to Laois County Council are confidential and cannot be disclosed under the Freedom of Information Act.

Please contact the Tenant Liaison Officer for further information at 057 8664043
