As part of his party’s election campaign, Rishi Sunak will make the statement on Friday and pledge to take action against anti-social behavior.
In addition, a new “three strikes and you’re out” policy for unruly social housing tenants and the expansion of the “hot spot” enforcement initiative throughout England and Wales to step up patrols in the most severely impacted regions are planned.
The “bold action” would “stop anti-social behaviour in its tracks,” according to the prime minister.
Labour’s Yvette Cooper, a shadow home secretary, meanwhile, denounced the measures as “more empty words from a chaotic Tory Party” that, during its rule, “let anti-social behaviour run rampant”.
Fly-tipping is already prohibited and carries a £1,000 fine. However, the Conservatives claimed that because of their “zero tolerance” stance, violators might lose their licenses or perhaps go to jail because of the extra points they would accrue.
The party stated that local governments and housing associations would be “expected” to expel tenants who had demonstrated three instances of antisocial behavior.
Additionally, the policing program would be a replication of a government pilot program that was implemented in ten locations and resulted in approximately 800 arrests, nearly 2,000 stop and search incidents, and nearly 1,000 instances of the use of anti-social behavior authorities such public protection orders and community protection letters.
