Purpose
To seek Cabinets approval for the adoption of the Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) and Hate Crime Policy for the Housing Landlord Service
Decision
- That Cabinet adopts the Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) and Hate Crime Policy for the Housing Landlord Service.
- That Cabinet delegates minor operational amendments and/or legislative changes to the Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) and Hate Crime Policy to the Service Director for Housing in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Strategic and Operational Housing
Reasons for the decision
The updated Policy reflects both strengthened regulatory requirements and tenants’ aspirations for an improved service.
Adoption demonstrates the Council’s commitment to responding to ASB, listening and acting on tenant feedback, and contributing to safer communities.
Alternative options considered
Do Nothing - The Council could have chosen to retain the existing ASB and Hate Crime arrangements without introducing a new Policy. However, this option was discounted as it would not meet strengthened regulatory requirements under the Social Housing (Regulation) Act 2023, nor address findings from the 2025 regulatory inspection, tenant feedback or an action in the ASB Framework 2025.
