Text Box: makers were put forward and details are given of where the kids are hanging out and what is happening then things can be done. Also, West Kent can “with the stroke of a pen” start proceedings to get tenants out but they need evidence and need more people to come forward. They suggest keeping an incident diary detailing all the occurrences of antisocial behaviour. Log sheets are available from Sevenoaks District Council. If you are prepared to give evidence there is a support group that can talk you through. West Kent also have acceptable behaviour agreements with some children and these are working as some of those on them have improved their behaviour. There are also anti-social behaviour injunctions for those over 18. Whilst the term anti-social behaviour is a recent addition to our every day language, many of the behaviours it describes are not new.  There are many things that could be deemed as being anti-social. Examples include: Misuse of public space: e.g. drugs, joyriding, off road motorcycling. Disregard for community: e.g. shouting & swearing, hoax calls. Acts directed at people: e.g. groups or individuals making threats, verbal abuse, bullying. Environmental Damage: e.g. graffiti, damage to street furniture, fly-tipping. Sevenoaks’ community safety officer, Kelly Webb tells us: “If you are suffering from anti-social behaviour it is important that you report it.  You can report problems to the Police, the District Council or your Housing Association. If the problem is an emergency or life threatening you should always call 999. Otherwise, call Sevenoaks District Council on 01732 227000 or e-mail community.safety@sevenoaks.gov.uk. Information is treated in confidence, and your name and address will not be passed to those believed to be causing the anti-social behaviour. “Take some time to talk to your neighbours to see if they are suffering from the same problem.  The most effective way to tackle anti-social behaviour is when communities come together and work with the local agencies.  “ASBOs are a tool that the Community Safety Partnership can use but only in the most extreme cases of anti-social behaviour.  They require detailed evidence gathered over 6 months to be presented to a court.” A useful guide is available from West Kent using the following link http://www.westkent.org/images/documents/Anti-Social%20Behaviour%20Guide.pdf and some sections of this are applicable to everyone, not just tenants.
