Labour plans to introduce ‘zero tolerance’ zones in city and town centres to combat anti-social behaviour, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has announced.
The police will receive new powers to issue ‘respect orders’, which can ban repeat offenders involved in harassment, drug use, street drinking, and other disruptive behaviours from entering city centres.
Breaching these orders could lead to fines or community payback punishments, according to the Home Secretary.
