Agenda item

*RESOLVED –

1.    That the draft Anti-Social Behaviour Strategy be approved for public consultation.

2.    That a report be brought to Cabinet with a final draft Anti-Social Behaviour Strategy following the completion of the public consultation by September 2022.

REASON FOR DECISIONS

1.    It is essential for the Council to have a modern and relevant Anti-social behaviour strategy that reflects recent developments in anti-social behaviour (ASB) characteristics, legislation and national and local priorities. This will enable the Council to strategically plan and prioritise resources across the Borough and to work appropriately with stakeholders to maximise effectiveness.

2.    The effective management of ASB related issues will support the Councils wider ambitions regarding making Chesterfield a thriving borough by actively contributing to making Chesterfield a great place to live, work and visit.

The Service Director - Leisure, Culture and Community Wellbeing and Head of Community Safety and Regulatory Services submitted a report seeking approval for the draft Anti-Social Behaviour Strategy to go out for public consultation.

The existing Corporate Anti-Social Behaviour Policy and the Housing Service Anti-Social Behaviour Policy were adopted in

2019 and did not fully take account of current national and local developments.

The draft Corporate Anti-Social Behaviour Strategy, attached at Appendix A of the officer’s report, would provide a consistent approach and a framework for all Chesterfield Borough Council services involved in responding to ASB.
