These cases fall into one of the following categories:

Antisocial behaviour - 1,943

Estate management - 1,557

Tenancy fraud - 125

Our strategy for reducing antisocial behaviour

We’re working with other agencies to address ASB problems in our neighbourhoods. As a member of Resolve, the national ASB body, a member of the Be Safe partnership, and as member of Greater Manchester Community Safety and Wellbeing Group, we look to:

  • Continue partnership working across Bolton to tackle crime and ASB and a prevention strategy.
  • Support and campaign nationally to government for a specialist Housing Court.
  • Support and campaign nationally to government for more powers Closure Orders for social landlords.
