Aggressive Begging
Individuals who aggressively beg or harass you can be subject to an Antisocial Behaviour Order (ASBO). You can report them online using the above button. You can also report aggressive begging to West Midlands Police on 0345 113 5000. If the situation is an emergency call 999.
If there is an ongoing problem the following information is valuable to the police:
- The name and address of the person involved including a description if known
- Where the offence is being committed
- Whether the person is being verbally or physically aggressive.

We have set up the Community Safety Partnership, a specialist team that deals with Antisocial Behaviour across the city.
In the first instance, so long as it's safe, we will always advise you to speak directly with whoever is causing the problem.
Many disputes between neighbours could be resolved just by talking to each other. Your neighbour may not even realise that they’re causing a nuisance.
If you’re being subjected to persistent Antisocial Behaviour, we’ll then refer your complaint either to the Community Safety Partnership or the council department best placed to deal with your specific issue.
If you’re a tenant of a registered social landlord, we may give you their contact details, if the matter is something that they have the power to deal with.
In an emergency you should always call 999 and report the matter to the police.
