Asked by: Kate Dearden (Labour (Co-op) - Halifax)
Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to help tackle anti-social behaviour in (a) Halifax constituency and (b) West Yorkshire.
Answered by Diana Johnson - Minister of State (Home Office)
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 into local communities, such as Halifax and in West Yorkshire, so 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 a new Respect Order to tackle repeat offending.
The Home Office is providing £66.3m funding this financial year (2024/25) to police forces in England and Wales for hotspot policing to tackle anti-social behaviour and serious violence. West Yorkshire police have been allocated £2,476,420 of this funding.
