Question to the Home Office:

What steps she is taking to tackle anti-social behaviour.

We are committed to protect communities from the menace of anti-social behaviour. That is why we have enhanced the powers available to tackle anti-social behaviour through the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014.

The powers are flexible, allowing local areas to tailor their response according to the circumstances. They are best-placed to understand their communities’ needs and the most appropriate response.

We keep anti-social behaviour under review through the ASB Strategic Board which brings together key partners.
