<p>On 27 March we published the ASB Action Plan. The ASB Action Plan commits to tackling
ASB across five key themes: stronger punishment, making communities safer, building
local pride, prevention and early intervention, improving data, reporting and accountability
for action.</p><p>This plan is backed by £160m of funding. This includes up to £60m
to fund an increased police and other uniformed presence to clamp down on anti-social
behaviour, targeting hotspots. Initially we will work with 10 police force areas,
but from 2024 will support a hotspot approach across every police force area in England
and Wales.</p><p>We are also providing up to £50m to support the provision of Immediate
Justice, by issuing out of court disposals with conditions to swiftly repair any damage
– the aim being for them to start within 48 hours of the offence. This will start
in 10 initial trailblazer police force areas and be rolled out nationally in 2024.</p><p>As
at 31 December 2022, Cheshire Constabulary has recruited 316 additional uplift officers
against a total three year allocation of 300 officers. The force has been allocated
120 additional uplift officers in the final year of the Uplift. Cheshire Constabulary’s
funding will be up to £242.6m in 2023/24, an increase of £9.8m when compared to 2022/23</p>
