Anti-social behaviour blights our local communities and causes absolute misery for hardworking residents.
That’s why I was eager to meet with the Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice, Dominic Raab MP, to impress upon him the urgent need for tougher sentences for repetative low-level anti-social behaviour.
Low-level ASB may appear relatively harmless, but its repetition can have considerable cumulative effects on its victims. I am delighted to report that the Secretary of State and I were in full agreement on this issue.
