Commentary on Sections Part 2: Housing
25.This part gives local authorities, housing action trusts and social landlords registered with the Housing Corporation new and more effective tools to deal with anti-social behaviour. The Bill also introduces a new duty on social landlords to publish their anti-social behaviour policies so that tenants and members of the public are informed about the measures that social landlords will use to address anti-social behaviour in their stock. In addition to the White Paper ‘Respect and Responsibility’ these measures were the subject of public consultation from 2 April until 12 July 2002.
