Liberal Democrats tackle Anti-Social Behaviour

10.30.00am BST (GMT +0100) Thu 22nd Sep 2005

The Liberal Democrats have this morning discussed the problems of Anti-Social Behaviour and how best to tackle the root causes and the problem itself. Although 2,600 ASBO's issued last year (550 by one Council alone), they do not appear to have tackled the problem or the causes. Conference applauded the approach taken by Liberal Democrat controlled Councils who try to tackle the root causes to prevent the Anti-Social Behaviour taking place with methods like acceptable behaviour contracts.
