Cllr George Savva (Cabinet Member for Social Housing) introduced the report of the Strategic Director of Housing and Regeneration, supporting Council Housing tenants and leaseholders to feel safe and to live in a safe environment. Members’ attention was drawn to the introduction of 12 new service standards, and joint approach with residents, partner services and agencies. Training days had been held for caretakers, who were thanked for their work.

In response to Members’ questions, it was confirmed that the good practice guidance of the Housing Ombudsman had informed the policy. Performance would be monitored, using the performance indicators and regular reporting, and there would be a review of the new policy after six months.

DECISION:  The Cabinet agreed:

I.  To approve the Council Housing Antisocial Behaviour Policy 2023-28.

II.  To delegate to Joanne Drew, Director of Housing and Regeneration, authority to make minor changes to the policy to ensure operational effectiveness as required.
