What is restorative justice?
• Restorative Approaches:‘A way of preventing and resolving conflict,
which allows individuals to resolve differences. It develops the language of emotion and allows people the time to collect thoughts and feelings. There is a calm resolution process where everyone is listened to and usually the result is a point where issues are resolved and people can move on’

Why use Face to Face Meetings to resolve Neighbour Disputes?
• Warnings from the housing officer can create further bad feeling and may prolong/escalate the dispute
• Neighbours’ desire for the problem to stop and for things to be better (rather than legal action)
• It encourages to be good neighbours by speaking to each other directly to make things better and reduces the likelihood of the case being reopened
• Can be used where Court action is not appropriate
