Thanks for your email.
I am the Council's Freedom of Information Officer. In the first instance I
have contacted Alan Jenks to see if there is any further information he
can provide you with. If there is I will ask that he sends it to you
asap.
If I don't hear back from him within the next week I will instigate our
formal appeal process.
I will keep you up to date with developments

Dear Harrogate Borough Council,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of
Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Harrogate Borough
Council's handling of my FOI request 'Policies for anti-social
behaviour'.

I made this request and another request around consultation some
time ago. The Head of Housing has successfully responded to my
other request and I am satisfied with the response. However, this
request on policies is still outstanding and I am still interested
to understand more about Harrogate Borough Council's attitude and
responses to anti-social behaviours in our community.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is
available on the Internet at this address:

Yours faithfully,

Alison Hammond

Hi Alison
I now have some further information for you in connection with your request.
Housing have now confirmed that they are currently reviewing their Anti Social Behaviour Policy but the current policy is on the Council's website and as such is outside the scope of FOI. Please see www.harrogate.gov.uk/immediacy-2668. The contact for the review is Noel Duke in Housing.
The Council's Safer Communities Co ordinator has also provided the following comments :-
"The Harrogate District Safer Communities Partnership arranges Multi Agency Problem Solving Meetings which uses problem solving to tackle the more serious cases that single agencies can not solve alone. Other ASB cases are normally dealt with by the Safer Neighbourhood meetings that allow residents to bring up local issues for agencies to respond to. NY Police normally lead on this but HBC should be more involved in the future.

We are currently developing a minimum standard for dealing with ASB across North Yorkshire, but it is not available as yet."

I hope that you now have the information you require but if you are still not happy please let me know .
Thanks
