The Milton Keynes City Council (MKCC) ASB Team is responsible for managing cases of anti-social behaviour which concerns MKCC properties. The ASB team accepts reports from MKCC tenants or reports made by residents in relation to MKCC tenants. 

What is Anti-Social Behaviour?

The term Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) covers a wide range of unacceptable behaviours that have a negative impact on the community, often leaving victims feeling helpless and reducing their quality of life.

Anti-social behaviour is defined as “behaviour that causes or is likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress”.  Examples can include:

• Nuisance associated with the selling of drugs or drug substance misuse
• Acts of harassment
• Racist behaviour, language or graffiti
• Acts or threats of discrimination on the grounds of sex, sexual orientation, religious belief, age, ethnic origin, illness or disability
• Using or threatening to use violence
• Writing or displaying graffiti or literature that is threatening, abusive or insulting
• Sending communication that is threatening, abusive, racist or insulting

Some behaviours may cause an annoyance to residents, but may otherwise be reasonable. Not limited to the following, we will not consider these behaviours to be anti-social: 

• Children playing
• Living noise 
• Cooking smells 

Zero-tolerance

The Council takes a zero-tolerance approach to knife and violent crime throughout our housing stock. This means where tenants, household members or visitors to our properties have been suspected of engaging in violent or weaponry crime, we will consider the range of legal powers available to us to prevent further instances of such behaviour. 

We also take a zero-tolerance approach to anyone who has engaged in aggressive, threatening or violent behaviour to any member of staff, our contractors or agents. Where a person has been suspected of engaging in such behaviour, we will consider our legal powers, where necessary, to prevent further incidents.
