Request

I work within community safety. I have been involved in 17 successful injunction applications, and as part of ongoing work to better understand national approaches to tackling anti social behaviour (ASB), I am researching how local authorities utilise injunction powers.
Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I would like to request the following information:

1. The total number of live injunctions currently held by your local authority.
2. The total number of injunction applications made by your authority in the past three years (please provide figures for each year separately).
3. If available, a brief description of the types of ASB or behaviours these injunctions were used to address (e.g., nuisance behaviour, ASB, housing related issues).
4. Whether your authority has a dedicated policy or strategy relating to the use of injunctions to reduce ASB.
