A new programme to ensure housing tenants live in safe neighbourhoods has received the backing of community safety chiefs.
The 'Respect Standard for Housing Management' outlines key commitments essential to combating anti-social behaviour and creating a culture of respect.
Broadacres Housing Association signed up to the Respect programme last month (April) pledging to continue to:
- tackle anti-social behaviour
- help victims and vulnerable people
- help reduce acquisitive crime (burglary and vehicle crime)
