Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent advice and support her Department has provided to local authorities on tackling anti-social behaviour occurring around residential dwellings.

The Social Housing White Paper, published in November 2020, sets out measures to support social housing tenants who are facing anti-social behaviour (ASB). The Government has published an information guide clarifying the different responsibilities that police, local authorities and their landlords have in tackling ASB.

The Regulator of Social Housing is designing new ‘Tenant Satisfaction Measures’ which will give tenants information about their landlord’s performance: the proposed measures include the number of ASB cases relative to the size of the landlord and tenants’ satisfaction with their landlord’s approach to handling ASB.
