38.1 The Panel considered a report that provided an update on the new provisions for tackling anti-social behaviour (ASB) contained within the Anti-Social bad Policing Act 2014.
38.2 Simon Zapello stated that he welcomed the proposals but that he would also like to see prospective tenants vetted before they were offered accommodation.
38.3 The Head of Income, Involvement & Improvement stated that the council had a legal requirement to provide housing to those that needed it and could not pick and choose who was housed. Furthermore, the council made every effort it could in supporting tenants who had needs often alongside multiple agencies.
