Require civil harassment orders to be disclosed in enhanced DBS checks
I’m calling on the government to close the DBS loophole by ensuring civil harassment orders, such as court-issued undertakings, are disclosed on Enhanced DBS checks to better protect children and vulnerable people from individuals under legal restrictions.
Excessive noise from residential property unresolved
A resident reports persistent loud music from a house that can be heard several streets away, affecting families with small children and elderly residents. Previous complaints to the council have not resulted in action.
Noise pollution from neighbouring property
Excessive noise from a neighbouring flat is disrupting sleep. The resident attributes this to poor soundproofing in the building.
Require DBS checks for all contractors for housing associations and councils
Require DBS checks for all contractors and subcontractors carrying out work for housing associations and councils.
Funding for local authorities and police tackle noise from short-term lets
We call on the Government to provide dedicated funding to local authorities and police to tackle complaints that are made against short-term holiday lets. We also call on the Government to require booking platforms to intervene immediately when they receive complaints.
