Broxtowe Borough Council

Therefore, not all complaints about acts of anti-social behaviour go as far as the courts, we believe the most effective way to tackle anti-social behaviour is to stop it happening in the first place.

However, Broxtowe Borough Council's Legal Team will utilise a range of legal interventions to protect vulnerable individuals and communities whenever informal interventions fail, dependant on relevant up-to-date evidence being available to prove the offence and satisfy the courts.  The legal section of the council prepare court files and issue a variety of enforcement actions as well as providing general advice and assistance to all departments involved in anti-social behaviour prevention and intervention.
