Service AreaHousing and Technical
Aims and ObjectivesOn an annual basis each Resource is asked to identify and realise savings to ensure the delivery of services at best
value whilst also maintaining a high standard of customer service. Reviews are being carried out across the Resource
to ensure that services are provided in the most effective, efficient and accessible manner possible while at the same
time ensuring there is no serious effect on legislative and regulatory requirements of the Council. This saving proposal
is being made as part of a review of the resource's Anti Social Behaviour/Problem Solving Strategy, and has been
ongoing for a number of years.
ConclusionThis assessment is part of a review of the resource's Anti Social Behaviour/Problem Solving Strategy, and has been
ongoing for a number of years. The review is being carried out to ensure that the service is provided in the most cost
effective, efficient and accessible manner possible while at the same time ensuring there is no adverse effect on any
legislative and regulatory requirements of the Council. The Community Warden Service will still be provided, albeit in a
different manner, the service will continue to look at efficient and cost effective means to engage with communities in
tackling ASB. Being more focused on where and when warden presence is required may have a positive impact on
people who live and work in South Lanarkshire, especially people who are most likely to be targets for "hate crimes" as
investigation of anti social behaviour (ASB) issues will be delivered in a more focused and directed way; shifting away
from raising awareness of the service to focusing on providing direct customer services such as foot patrols, fixed
penalty enforcement, identification and detection of ASB in our communities.
