The government has announced plans to extend the use of anti-social behaviour orders to fifty new areas to combat nuisance behaviour. The areas that will receive extra funding and support including specialist prosecutors for anti-social behaviour, include Exeter, Cardiff, Coventry and Middlesbrough. Tony Blair said: "For too long the selfish minority have had it all their own way. That's changing. "The fightback against the criminals, the louts and the nuisance neighbours is well under way."
