Decision details

To approve the anti-social behaviour strategy

RESOLVED:

1.  That the draft Antisocial Behaviour (ASB) Strategy for Southwark 2011-2015, as set out in appendix 1 of the report be approved.

2.  That the recommendations outlined in the strategy under the five key commitments be approved.

3.  That the changing national landscape in relation to antisocial behaviour, particularly in relation to the current Home Office proposals outlined in their consultation, ‘more effective responses to antisocial behaviour’ be noted. The consultation aims to streamline the number of tools and powers available for practitioners and could radically impact the way we manage antisocial behaviour locally. The outcome of the consultation is not expected until late 2011 and any legislative changes are not expected until early 2013.
