answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2022 answer text <p>It is important that local authorities have the powers they need to tackle all local issues quickly and effectively. That is why we introduced a range of flexible tools and powers to tackle anti-social behaviour through the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014.</p><p>The powers in the 2014 Act are deliberately local in nature and it is for local authorities to determine how best to respond to each individual case.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/01/2022 answer text <p>The <em>Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 </em>provides a range of flexible tools and powers to local agencies to tackle anti-social behaviour. Local areas decide how best to deploy these powers depending on the specific circumstances of each individual case.</p><p>The provisional Local Government Finance Settlement for 2022-23 makes available an additional £3.5 billion to councils, including funding for adult social care reform. This is an increase of over 4% in real terms, which will ensure councils across the country have the resources they need to deliver key services. In total, we expect Core Spending Power to rise to £53.9 billion in 2022-23, against £50.4 billion in 2021-22.</p><p>The Government is also providing around £1.6 billion additional grant in 2022-23. This includes additional funding for Supporting Families and Cyber Resilience, which will be distributed outside of this Settlement. We are allocating most of that funding through the provisional Settlement, including through a one-off 2022/23 Services Grant to councils to spend on vital frontline services, worth £822 million.</p><p>This funding will be given to councils to spend as they see fit, recognising that councils are placed to deal with local issues. The Government aims to publish a final settlement confirming allocations to individual local authorities in February 2022.</p> answering member constituency Redditch answering member printed Rachel Maclean question first answered 20/01/2022 17:31:02 answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean
