Anti-social Behaviour: Stoke-on-Trent South
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to tackle anti-social behaviour in Stoke-on-Trent South constituency.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
The Government recognises that effective multi-agency working is crucial to reducing anti-social behaviour and ensuring safer communities. We will continue to work with police, local authorities and the voluntary sector to identify and share best practice.
Tackling anti-social behaviour 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 and crack down on those causing havoc on our high streets by introducing tougher powers including new Respect Orders to tackle repeat offending.
