North Northamptonshire Council discussing new approach to anti-social behaviour
Members will consider a revised and robust Anti-Social Behaviour Policy at their meeting on Tuesday 9 September
North Northamptonshire Council has launched a proposed new Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) policy in a bid to further tackle anti-social behaviour in their communities.
The introduction of the Anti-Social Behaviour Act in 2014 increased the powers of local authorities and the police to tackle ASB promptly and work in partnership to stop incidents and cases escalating.
The development of this fresh ASB policy for North Northamptonshire Council has been informed by those earlier policies, alongside the current arrangements.
Following its approval, if endorsed at the meeting, and as part of its implementation, North Northamptonshire Council will keep the policy under review to ensure it aligns with any legislative changes, or updates in professional guidance.
It is proposed that once approved and adopted, work is done with a wider stakeholder group such as housing tenants, community groups and those with protected characteristics to develop more accessible versions of the policy.
