Calls will be answered by Swindon's crime and disorder team. Besides needing details of problems, they want to know about the culprits.

Names, addresses and descriptions will help nail offenders and prevent future problems.

While they would prefer if callers leave their names and contact details, information can be left anonymously.

Once action is taken, feedback cards will be sent to residents explaining what steps have been taken.

Calls are charged at local rates.
