Decision:

That the Committee support the Anti-Social Behaviour Policy.

Minutes:

The Senior Manager (Housing, Welfare & Communities) introduced the report to provide an overview of the changes that had been made to the Anti-Social Behaviour Policy.

 

The Council was committed to tackling anti-social behaviour due to the impact it had on tenants.  The Policy reflected best practice and protected the rights of contract holders as well as minimising risk to the Council for not complying with appropriate legislation.  The Senior Manager (Housing, Welfare & Communities) outlined that one of the key parts was the correct reporting process by ringing 101 to ensure all evidence could be documented correctly.

 

The Cabinet Member for Housing & Regeneration commented on the challenges of trying to support those affected and the hardships that they faced.  He encouraged residents to report incidents of anti-social behaviour to ensure enforcement action could be taken.

 

The recommendation, as outlined within the report, was moved by Councillor David Evans and seconded by Councillor Tina Claydon.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the Committee support the Anti-Social Behaviour Policy.
