Noise Nuisance

If your complaint is in relation to noise nuisance you can download ‘The noise app’. This app uses your smartphone to make recordings of noise nuisance which can be sent directly to us. We will be able to investigate these recordings and keep you informed throughout the investigation. The app can be downloaded from the Google Play or Apple Store or by following this link https://www.thenoiseapp.com

How quickly will I receive a response to my complaint?

We aim to respond to complaints as soon as possible. You will receive an acknowledgement message within 10 working days and we will make contact to discuss the issues following this.

Can I report crimes to you?

If a crime has been committed then it should be reported to the police in the first instance on 999 for emergencies or 101 for non-emergencies. We are committed to dealing with crime in our communities and work with the police and other agencies to do this.

I am a private resident, can I still make a complaint?

Anyone is able to submit a complaint to us about ASB. However, we cannot investigate ASB that is not caused by our tenants. If this is the case then you should report to the Police via 101 or Torfaen Council on 01495 762200.

What happens when my complaint is received?

The details of your complaint are passed to an officer to investigate. The officer will acknowledge the complaint within 10 working days and then contact you to discuss the complaint and agree on what we will do.
