uin	181184
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/04/2023 answer text <p>Ensuring that social housing residents are able to fix their problems is a priority for the Government. Residents should make use of their landlord's complaints process to resolve issues but where that is not sufficient to resolve the problem residents should contact the Housing Ombudsman, which provides free, impartial and independent advice and support. Whilst the Ombudsman can be an alternative to the use of the legal system, in some instances residents may choose to make use of the courts or tribunal to resolve issues.</p><p>In response to the tragic case of Awaab Ishak, the Secretary of State wrote to law firms in December last year asking legal bodies to promote the use of the Housing Ombudsman to social housing residents who had concerns about their housing. A copy of that letter is available on gov.uk</p><p>If the Hon. Member has some information he would like the Department to examine, I would be grateful if he could send it to my private office.</p> answering member constituency Bishop Auckland answering member printed Dehenna Davison question first answered 26/04/2023 15:52:50 answering member 4737 label Biography information for Dehenna Davison

The ASB Action Plan commits to tackling ASB across five key themes: stronger punishment, making communities safer, building local pride, prevention and early intervention, improving data, reporting and accountability for action.</p><p>This plan is backed by £160m of funding. This includes up to £60m to fund an increased police and other uniformed presence to clamp down on anti-social behaviour, targeting hotspots. Initially we will work with 10 police force areas, but from 2024 will support a hotspot approach across every police force area in England and Wales.</p><p>We are also providing up to £50m to support the provision of Immediate Justice, by issuing out of court disposals with conditions to swiftly repair any damage – the aim being for them to start within 48 hours of the offence. This will start in 10 initial trailblazer police force areas and be rolled out nationally in 2024.</p><p>As at 31 December 2022, Cheshire Constabulary has recruited 316 additional uplift officers against a total three year allocation of 300 officers.
