2007 saw the strengthening of powers to tackle antisocial<br />
behaviour. This was becoming an increasing<br />
problem in many communities and an effective<br />
response was needed.<br />
One of the first initiatives would turn out to be one<br />
of the most successful. It was the arrival of the<br />
neighbourhood warden, and it became so popular with<br />
residents that the initial 30 soon became 65. In more<br />
recent times the <strong>Housing</strong> <strong>Executive</strong> works with other<br />
agencies to provide additional coverage and also to<br />
share the cost.<br />
In December 2003 the provision of Traveller<br />
accommodation was transferred from district councils<br />
to the <strong>Housing</strong> <strong>Executive</strong>. A programme of specific<br />
Traveller Accommodation schemes was developed<br />
with the schemes prioritised on the basis of greatest<br />
need, land availability and Traveller family compatibility.<br />
Traveller accommodation includes group housing<br />
schemes, serviced sites and transit sites.<br />
