Housing Bodies Gain ASB Powers

The Home Office has published a draft bill on tackling anti-social behaviour that will change the powers available to housing bodies.  The new range of measures are designed to give victims of crime and anti-social behaviour more of a say in how offenders are dealt with, and simplify the options that are available to the police and other bodies.  Key tools for housing providers will be an injunction for the prevention of nuisance, and a community protection notice.
