Baroness: Reclaim Our Streets From Thugs - 29th Mar 2011

Communities champion Baroness Newlove has called on members of the public to "reclaim their streets" in the fight against anti-social behaviour.

The widow of murdered father-of-three Garry Newlove said she wanted a new approach to neighbourhood crime that saw local people being given more power on their own streets.

Lady Newlove wrote in her first report as the Government's Champion for Active, Safer Communities, a role to which she was appointed last October, that she "wanted to make sure something positive" came out of the death of her husband.
