answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/03/2023 answer text <p>The Government is committed to tackling and preventing anti-social behaviour (ASB). We know the serious impact that persistent ASB can have on both individuals and the wider community.</p><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, which will see thousands of additional patrols taking place in places blighted by anti-social behaviour.</p><p>We are on target to recruit the 20,000 additional officers by March 2023, taking us for the first time to over 148,400 officers across England and Wales. This will be the highest number of officers across England and Wales on record.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 30/03/2023 14:28:51 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp

We also want PCCs to have a role clearly set out in relation to the Community Trigger to give them more power to scrutinise and improve its operation.
