Local authorities are facing challenges in addressing anti-social behaviour and need support from the government to effectively tackle these issues.
What steps is he taking to support local authorities in tackling anti-social behaviour?
Across Government, we are developing an action plan to tackle antisocial behaviour. We are looking at stronger enforcement and swifter justice, as well as supporting young people into sports and other activities. This action builds on our wider investment in tackling crime and antisocial behaviour, including our recruitment of an additional 20,000 police officers.

Context
Blyth Valley has faced ongoing issues with anti-social behaviour and petty crime, necessitating meetings between local groups, retailers, and the police to address these problems.
Will my right hon. Friend please agree to meet me to discuss the matter in greater detail, and hopefully find where the support is?
I absolutely will. My hon. Friend recognises how important it is that we work together with other agencies to deal with antisocial behaviour, have swift and certain justice, ensure perpetrators clear up the mess they have created, and intervene upstream to help persistent absentees back on track.

Residents on Ashby Road, the A511, and the former A50 trunk road are experiencing issues related to excessive speed, aggressive driving, and traffic collisions.
What support can my right hon. Friend give local authorities to help them tackle such instances of antisocial behaviour?
My hon. Friend is quite right to raise this issue. Additional 231 uplift officers have been added to Staffordshire police, but I will be working with Staffordshire's police and crime commissioner to ensure that this issue is tackled appropriately.
