Report of the Director of Community & Children’s Services.

The Sub Committee considered a report of the Director of Community & Children’s Services regarding the new Anti-social behaviour (ASB) Policy, developed specifically for the Housing Service. Detailed procedural guides would be developed in line with this policy and brought to this Sub Committee for approval. Members noted that the “Community Remedy” would be included in the list of ASB remedies and actions and a clear policy would be developed for it, though no details were currently available.

Members requested amendments to clarify wording, and requested that provision be included for noise, currently classed as “nuisance”, to be re-classified as ASB should it become persistent. Officers advised that, if approved in principle by Members, the draft policy will be taken to the Housing User Board (HUB) for feedback.

RESOLVED – That the draft ASB Policy be approved in principle.
