Tackling anti-social behaviour must become a central tenet of levelling up if the agenda is to succeed, a think-tank has warned.

A report by centre-right Onward published today also urged action to reinvigorate high streets, boost private sector growth, support sport and heritage, and provide community-based support to the most disadvantaged.

Onward’s priorities were identified through detailed research across Oldham, South Shields, Walsall, Clacton-on-Sea and Barry.

The report read: ‘In every area, these common challenges had particular characteristics and were a blocker to levelling up to differing degrees.

Deputy director of Onward, Adam Hawksbee, said: ‘Anti-social behaviour should be a top priority in levelling up local areas.

'Without people feeling safe on the streets, efforts to boost economic growth and unlock opportunity will be wasted.’
