Commenting on the new 'crackdown' on anti-social behaviour launched by the Labour government today, local Liberal Democrat campaigner, Farid Ahmed said:

"Despite the spin the Government has clearly failed to tackle anti-social behaviour. Asbos are just an ineffective gimmick - they are constantly breached and in many areas they are seen as a badge of honour.

"To tackle anti-social behaviour we need more police on the streets, meeting and listening to the public, and new approaches to punishment, such as Community Justice Panels."
