PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Anti-social Behaviour and Noise: Shipley (4 September 2024)
Question Asked
Asked by:
Anna Dixon (Labour)
Answer
Tackling anti-social behaviour is a top priority for this Government, and a key part of our Safer Streets Mission
We will put thousands of neighbourhood police and community support officers back into local communities, so that residents have somewhere to turn to when things go wrong.
We will crack down on those causing havoc on our high streets and in city centres by introducing tougher powers via a Crime and Policing Bill, including a new Respect Order to tackle repeat offending.
There is a statutory regime for dealing with a range of nuisances including noise. Local authority environmental health departments are the main enforcers of the noise nuisance regime. It is for individual local authorities to determine the detailed arrangements of the services they provide taking into account their assessment of local needs and circumstances.
