*This issue is being taken as an urgent key decision in accordance with Access to Information procedure rule 15.

Report number ENV464 by the Healthy Environment Portfolio Holder.

                                                                                    (Enclosure )

DECISION:

          To adopt the Unacceptable Behaviour Policy appended to report           ENV464.

Considerations/reasons for decision:

1)    Report number ENV464 by the Portfolio Holder for Healthy Environment.

2)    Comments made by the Healthy Communities Service Manager regarding the replacement of the Violence to Staff Policy and the results of the consultation on the Unacceptable Behaviour Policy.

3)    Confirmation from the Tenancy & Neighbourhood Services Manager that the Council’s tenancy agreement did allow for action to be taken against tenants who engaged in unacceptable behaviour.

Other options considered:

          The policy will enable the statutory responsibilities of the council to be           discharged and failure to clarify the council’s policy in respect of           unacceptable behaviour could lead to the council breaching its          statutory duty.

DATE DECISIONS ARE EFFECTIVE

Decisions CO54-CO64 as made on 4 January 2010 can be implemented on 13 January 2009 unless subject to call-in by the Scrutiny Committee Chairman or any five members of the Council from any political groups.
