RESOLVED - That Cabinet approved and adopted the Rykneld Homes Limited Anti-Social Behaviour Policy on behalf of the Council.
REASONS FOR DECISION - Adopting the policy will enable the Council to discharges its legal responsibilities as a landlord under Section 218A of the Housing Act 1996 to publish policies and procedures for dealing with anti-social behaviour (ASB). It will provide a framework for tackling and preventing Anti-Social Behaviour.
OTHER OPTIONS CONSIDERED AND REJECTED - The option of not adopting the policy was considered but rejected as the Council would have failed to comply with its legal responsibilities.
Please note that this was not a Key Decision and so can be implemented with immediate effect by officers.
