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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps his Department is taking to help local authorities tackle noise complaints and antisocial behaviour in Yorkshire and the Humber.

The Social Housing White Paper sets out proposals to tackle anti-social behaviour by highlighting the responsibilities that police, local authorities and social landlords have in tackling anti-social behaviour. We have published guidance on Gov.uk clarifying the role local authorities and landlords have in tackling anti-social behaviour, including noise complaints and have disseminated this through bodies such as the Local Government Association.

We are preparing further work on anti-social behaviour to consider the evidence around the most common causes of anti-social behaviour affecting social housing residents, and to identify and raise awareness of the most effective interventions available to landlords - including their local authority partners - to address these issues.
