2.   That the Assistant Director – Housing and Assistant Director – Health and Wellbeing be granted authority to consult with stakeholders regarding the proposed changes.

REASON FOR DECISIONS

To take account of developments in anti-social behaviour characteristics, legislation and national and local priorities.

The Neighbourhoods Manager presented a report seeking approval for changes to the Corporate Anti-Social Behaviour Policy and the Housing Services Anti-Social Behaviour Policy.

The policies required revisions to take into account national and local developments. The review of both policies was carried out simultaneously to ensure corporate consistency whilst acknowledging that the Housing Services Anti-Social Behaviour Policy would need to include further detail on specific housing-related issues.

Where there had been changes in legislation, the policies had been updated to clarify the role of the council in tackling anti-social behaviour.

The revised policies were attached as appendices to the officer’s report.
