The government is determined to ensure that everyone feels proud of their community and will continue to take action to achieve this.

In addition to addressing anti-social behavior, ministers have set a target of dismantling 1,000 county lines drug operations by August. They have already claimed success in meeting their previous goal of eliminating 2,000 lines by 2025.

Crime as a Key Election Issue

Crime has become a prominent topic in political debates, with both the Conservative and Labour parties claiming to prioritize law and order. The government's efforts to combat anti-social behavior and drug operations are part of their commitment to ensuring public safety.

Action Plan to Tackle Anti-Social Behavior
