Bolton at Home now tackles anti-social behaviour in the private sector,
as part of improving quality of life for all communities across the borough.
The officers currently work in Great Lever, Queens Park, Tonge Fold and the
Haulgh and advise private sector tenants on their own rights and
responsibilities around antisocial behaviour. The officers train landlords
in how to deal with tenants who behave antisocially and how to reduce the
risk of re-housing problem tenants.
Action can be taken against offenders of anti-social behaviour using
Acceptable Contracts (ABCs), Antisocial Behaviour orders’ (ASBOs) and
injunctions. All these measures help communities live in a peaceful
environment. Legal action can now be taken against private landlords who do
not deal with anti-social tenants.
