Reporting crime and ASB

Anti-Social Behaviour is defined as any behaviour which causes “harassment, alarm or distress” to a person not in the same household.

If an immediate response is not required, please report it to Cheshire West and Chester Council using our online form.

Complaints about noise nuisance should be directed to us unless the noise is linked to domestic violence, a dangerous dog or a party where people are spilling out of premises into the public realm with the potential to cause public disorder.

If you need to report a crime or anti-social behaviour (ASB) that requires an immediate response and is something that is happening at the time you are calling, then you should contact Cheshire Police.

Reporting

If you are either a business or a resident and are experiencing ASB issues, please view the below ‘Guide to Reporting Issues’ documents below.
