This will help us to identify if the incident(s) is ASB, and if so, we can tell you what you can expect from us as the next step.
Are usually regular low-level disturbances that would not on their own be considered ASB.
In this instance, we will usually advise you to keep a log of any instances that may occur as it will be useful for us to assess the extent of the disturbance. Sometimes we will refer you to other services that might be able to help.
