Labour Targets Yob
Culture
Hooligans as young
as 16 will face fines of up to £80 as part of David Blunkett's attempts
to outlaw anti-social behaviour.
£75 million is being spent over
the next 3 years to support the drive to tackle anti-social behaviour.
Locally, youth
nuisance is becoming more of a problem, and is being reported for the
first time in formerly quiet estates such as Harrow Way, Hatch Warren,
Kempshott and Chineham.
Locally and nationally, Labour has a wide range of plans to deal with
youth nuisance:
* more Police on the beat
* the
introduction of Neighbourhood Wardens following the successful Buckskin
pilot
* the setting up of youth schemes along the lines of the successful scheme
at Winklebury,
which has significantly reduced crime there
* investing in Youth Workers
We are building
better facilities and listening to the community. Labour is determined
to deliver on this critical issue.
Labour's Drive to
fight Child Poverty
Labour is investing in universal
nursery places for all 3 year olds, and has raised Child Benefit to
£16.50 a week per child. The Working Families Tax Credit is helping
nearly 1.3 million families and is worth an average £40 a week more than
the old Family Credit.
The Tories plan to slash funding to education. They will subsidise people
to send their children to private schools, alongside reducing the number
of people who go to University by 100,000. This would close over 25
universities.
Local colleges would also suffer as they would see funding cut and the
number of students cut.
