Anti-social Behaviour: Community Trigger

If you have reported a problem to the council, police or housing provider and you feel not enough action has been taken to respond to your report, the community trigger is a way for you to ask for a case review.

The community trigger can be used by individuals, businesses or community groups. You can start a community trigger if:

• you have reported three separate incidents relating to the same problem in the past six months to the Council, Police or your landlord and you've had inadequate response or feel ignored OR 
• at least five people have made reports about the same problem in the past six months.

How can I start a Community Trigger?

• online by filling in the Community Trigger form for any location in Avon and Somerset 
• by post, writing to your local area co-ordinator:

Bath and North East Somerset

Bristol

North Somerset

Somerset

South Gloucestershire

What happens next?

An acknowledgement letter will be sent within two days of our receipt of your application.

We will write again within two weeks to let you know whether or not you have been successful in applying the trigger and outlining what will happen next.

We aim to let you know the outcome of the review within three weeks of your application.

What if I am not satisfied?

If you are not satisfied with the review outcome, you can take the matter up with the complaints process of the relevant agency. To complain to Avon and Somerset Police you can:
