New regulations require local authorities to report anti-social behaviour data to government

The Anti-social Behaviour (Provision of Information) Regulations 2026 establish mandatory reporting requirements for local authorities to submit information to the Secretary of State regarding anti-social behaviour incidents and their responses. Local authorities must collect, retain, and process specified data about reports they receive and the actions they take in response. These regulations operate under powers granted by the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 to standardise information gathering across relevant authorities.
