Issue - meetings

That the report be noted.

The Chief Officer (Housing & Assets) introduced the Anti-Social Behaviour Policy which fulfilled the legal requirement of the Housing Act 1996 and was designed to give a clear statement of the approach Flintshire County Council, as a landlord, would take to address anti-social behaviour within the remit of the Housing Management Team.

The aim of the policy sought to ensure that effective systems were adopted to prevent and minimise instances of anti-social behaviour and to resolve them as early as possible through timely and appropriate interventions.

The Housing Manager reported that the Council worked with internal departments and internal agencies to take any appropriate action and explained that a copy of the policy, attached at Appendix 1 of the report would assist Councillors in signposting any anti-social behaviour issues within their wards.   

In response to a question from the Chairman, the Chief Officer explained that the Council was unable to act on anti-social behaviour issues occurring at privately owned properties as this was a Police matter but could act if the issues were affecting neighbouring Council house tenants. 

The recommendations outlined within the report were moved by Councillor Ron Davies and seconded by Councillor Kevin Rush.

            RESOLVED:
