Anti-social Behaviour: Community Development
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she plans to provide (a) financial and (b) other support to local community organisations to help tackle anti-social behaviour in their area.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
Tackling anti-social behaviour (ASB) is a top priority for this Government, and a key part of our Safer Streets Mission.
We will put thousands of neighbourhood police and community support officers into local communities so that residents have a named officer they can go to when things go wrong and will set out further measures in due course.
The Safer Streets Fund is a crime prevention programme, helping to prevent neighbourhood crime, violence against women and girls (VAWG) and anti-social behaviour (ASB) in public spaces to ensure the public is better protected.
