To seek approval from the Executive to adopt Fareham’s Anti-Social Behaviour Policy, following public consultation.
The Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003 requires Local Authorities to prepare an Anti-Social Behaviour Policy. The Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 sets out powers to deal with Anti-Social Behaviour.
There are also powers under the Housing Act 1985 and Housing Act 1996 to assist in combatting Anti-Social Behaviour.
In April 2024, the Housing Regulator introduced Housing Consumer Standards pursuant to the Social Housing (Regulation) Act 2023, which brings in a requirement for Registered Social Landlords to ensure that tenants can live in safe environments.
The proposed Anti-Social Behaviour Policy fulfils the requirements of the above legislation.
