Community Trigger: ask for a review of an anti-social behaviour case

If you feel that no action has been taken over an issue you’ve reported three times in the last six months to us, the police or a registered housing provider, you can ask for a review of your case. This is called a "community trigger".

You can either:

• fill out the Community Trigger form and email it to asbunit@merton.gov.uk,with the subject heading 'Community Trigger', or
• post the completed form, or write a letter to the Community Trigger Panel, Safer Merton (ASBU), Civic Centre, Morden SM4 5DX, or
• telephone 020 8274 4907 and say you wish to activate a Community Trigger.

You’ll need to provide:

• details of each time you complained
• details of who you complained to (name, organisation and/or reference number)
• information about the anti-social behaviour

We’ll acknowledge receipt of your form within three working days and pass your case to a community trigger panel of representatives from local agencies. The panel will let you know within ten working days whether your case meets their criteria for review. If it does, you’ll be told what action they plan to take to resolve the issue.

If it doesn’t you’ll be told why and you case will continue to be dealt with by the agency you have reported it to.
