As well as tackling antisocial behaviour we also work to prevent it in the first place.
All new tenants are issued with a 12 month starter tenancy. We are then able to end a tenancy if its conditions are broken
We partner with other organisations to engage in activities and initiatives that make our communities great places to live. For example we regularly help to organise community fun days, activities for children and community litter picks. Visit our community news page for upcoming events
We make ongoing improvements to our neighbourhoods such as improving street lighting and installing fencing
We also use technology to prevent antisocial behaviour, such as using temporary CCTV cameras to deter ASB or to help us investigate.
Using technology to report noise
As well as prevention, technology can help us to gather evidence that antisocial behaviour is occurring.
When investigating noise nuisance, we will ask the person reporting to complete and return incident diary sheets. We need to have a thorough understanding of the noise that is occurring, any associated behaviour and the impact that this form of antisocial behaviour is having on the neighbourhood.
As well as completing diary sheets, we now ask customers to download The Noise App on their mobile phone. Instances of noise nuisance can be recorded and sent directly to the neighbourhood team. More information about the noise app and how to install this can be found here on The Noise App website or watch this short video.

We are inviting customers to join our next focus group, reviewing our tenancy fraud policy. Tackling tenancy fraud helps us to provide an effective housing service, as this type of fraud affects how we can manage our properties, including dealing effectively with anti-social behaviour or repairs issues. It also affects our finances in terms of reclaimed benefit payments where these have been paid fraudulently. If you would like to join us in reviewing this policy, you are invited to our offices in Trowbridge on Wednesday 4th September 10am - 12pm.
Our CEO wanted to speak today to recent events, affecting communities across the UK this week.
"We strongly condemn the riots and disorder, violence and racism that the country has witnessed and our thoughts are with those individuals and communities that have been impacted.
However, it was inspiring to see thousands of people standing together in peaceful protest last night, clearly united in the cause to end the violence.
It is everyone’s right to a safe home and community in which to live and to raise our families. As a local housing association, working alongside key partners, this will remain our continued purpose."
Recognising that everyone has a right to live in their home safely, if you are a Selwood Housing customer and you experience harassment or abuse from a neighbour please let us know via our website www.selwoodhousing.com/tenants-services/your-neighbourhood/antisocial-behaviour/ or through calling our main number 01225 715 715.
You sound exactly like two tier kier! If you think last night's protest was a good piece full protest then you can thank "the far right" for not retaliating to the hope not hate group after they repeatedly calling us nazis!
I can read at least one threat from your post and I personally am offended by that.
