What is anti-social behaviour?
ASB can affect anyone, and includes a wide range of issues such as:
-
Noise nuisance (e.g. loud music or shouting)
-
Harassment, intimidation or verbal abuse
-
Vandalism, graffiti or damage to property
-
Drug use or dealing
-
Hate crime or discrimination
-
Threatening behaviour or violence
-
Misuse of communal areas
-
Persistent neighbour disputes
-
Fly tipping or littering
Whether you're experiencing ASB yourself or are concerned about something in your community, please come and speak to us.
This Pride Month, MSV is celebrating identity, inclusion and community. But just as important as visibility is the right to feel safe at home and in your neighbourhood. That’s why we’re encouraging all customers to speak up about any form of anti-social behaviour (ASB)—and to join us at our upcoming ASB drop-in sessions.
As part of Anti-Social Behaviour Awareness Week (June 30 – July 6, 2025), we’ll be holding drop-ins across Moss Side, Rochdale, Bolton, Stockport and Openshaw. These are open to everyone and are a chance to:
-
Talk to our specialist ASB and community safety teams
-
Learn how to report issues and what action can be taken
-
Get support if ASB is affecting your wellbeing
-
Connect with services that can help
Drop-in sessions are taking place from 30 June to 6 July, 2025
📍 Across Moss Side, Rochdale, Bolton, Stockport and Openshaw
🖱️ Full details on times and venues will be shared on our News page soon.
