Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment she has made of the effectiveness of registered providers of social housing in Runcorn and Helsby constituency in responding to reports of antisocial behaviour.

My Department has made no specific assessment of the effectiveness of registered providers of social housing in Runcorn and Helsby constituency in responding to reports of antisocial behaviour (ASB).

The Regulator of Social Housing’s Code of Practice, which can be found on gov.uk here, provides guidance on how registered providers should meet the required consumer standards, including having effective policies and processes for tackling ASB and keeping tenants informed of progress.
