Minutes:

The Neighbourhoods Manager presented a report seeking approval for the adoption of a revised Corporate Anti-social Behaviour Policy and Housing Services Anti-social Behaviour Policy.

 

Approval was given by Cabinet on 13 November, 2018 to begin a consultation on the draft policies. Copies of the consultation documents were provided to a group of council tenants, the Tenant Challenge Panel, Derbyshire Constabulary, Derbyshire County Council Community Safety Unit and Derbyshire Law Centre.

 

Following the consultation, amendments were made to the policies to include assurances that serious anti-social behaviour from a previous tenant would be taken into account when re-letting the property, to avoid neighbouring tenants suffering a similar experience again, and revisions to procedures for the storage, retention and deletion of data.

 

The summary of consultation responses along with the revised policies were attached as appendices to the officer’s report.
