The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she plans to take to tackle anti-social behaviour in South Basildon and East Thurrock constituency.

Answered by Dame Diana Johnson

Tackling anti-social behaviour is a top priority for this Government, and a key part of our Safer Streets Mission to take back our streets.

We will put thousands of new neighbourhood police and community support officers back on the beat in local communities, and ensure that residents have a named officer they can turn to when things go wrong.

We will crack down on those causing havoc on our high streets by introducing tougher powers via a Crime and Policing Bill, including new Respect Order to tackle repeat offending.
