DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST FOR THIS ITEM:
 
None
 

RESOLVED:
 
That
Cabinet:

Adopted the draft Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Policy to come
into effect from 23 December 2025.

Delegated authority to the Director of Environment, in
consultation with the relevant Cabinet member for Communities, to
make any future modifications to this policy required by changes to
legal or regulatory requirements or updates to the Council’s
ASB webpages arising in the three-year period before the policy was
due for review.

Reasons for Decision
This newly drafted, clear and accessible policy outlined the
Council’s approach to tackling Anti-Social Behaviour. It
applied to all Haringey residents, businesses, and visitors in the
borough. It reflected the Council’s commitment to fostering
safe, harmonious communities and helped the Council meet the Social
Housing Regulator’s consumer standards, specifically the
Neighbourhood and Community Standard.

Alternative Options Considered
The Council could have continued with an outdated ASB policy. This
option was rejected because it would not have met the
Council’s needs or those of its residents. Introducing this
new policy assisted the Council in meeting the Social Housing
Regulator’s Neighbourhood and Community Standard to have a
policy on how the Council worked with relevant organisations to
deter and tackle ASB in the neighbourhoods where it provided social
housing. This option would also not have met the Council’s
commitment to introduce updated policies in the Housing Strategy
2024–2029 and the Housing Improvement Plan 2023.
