We will take enforcement action where this is proportionate and in the best interest of residents. The ASB, Crime and Policing Act 2014 and the Housing Act 1996 set out the statutory tools available to local authorities to tackle ASB and where appropriate and proportionate we will use these tools/powers to take enforcement action.
We take a zero-tolerance approach to aggressive, threatening or violent behaviour to any of our residents, staff or contractors. We also take a zero-tolerance approach to knife crime and organised crime throughout our communities and will use all enforcement powers available to us to tackle these issues and prevent escalation or recurrence.
We will share information with our residents on successful enforcement action taken to tackle ASB, including through news articles on our website and in our resident newsletters. By doing this, we aim to demonstrate that we can work together to stop ASB and to deter residents from committing ASB in future.
