Option 1 - The possibility of the Legal Team undertaking these matters has been considered but as there is no capacity in the current team this option is not feasible.
Option 2 - Other external options have been considered, including instructing a firm of solicitors, but not only do such firms have limited expertise, if any, in pursuing or prosecuting anti-social behaviour cases, they are a considerably more expensive option.
