The action the council takes against the perpetrator is dependent on the available evidence:

• If there is very little evidence and there are no other witnesses or complainants we may not be able to take any action other than speaking with the alleged perpetrator/s.
• If the evidence is more substantial we may ask a partner agency with more appropriate powers to intervene, this could be the Police, Environmental Health or your landlord. In these instances we may advise and support them through the process.
• In the case of young people we would alert Bournemouth’s Youth Service and/ or Social Services if the person is thought to be vulnerable. In the most severe cases criminal or civil proceedings may be brought resulting in:
  •  Fines
  •  Evictions
  • Anti-Social Behaviour Orders
  • Injunctions
