Support and advice for victims of ASB
ASB Case ReviewThe ‘ASB case review’ gives people the right to ask for a review of long-term ASB complaints and Kim McGuinness’ office is the first PCC’s office to roll-out the ASB complaints process this way. In practice, the new process means the Commissioner can now bring together a high-level panel of organisations such as police, councils, housing providers and others to review persistent cases. The new review process is designed to give victims a voice and help the authorities find solutions. Find out more HERE. |
