Respect - find out what it means to YOU!
The Respect initiative is a cross-Government
strategy to tackle bad behaviour and to nurture good.
It involves central government, local agencies
and communities working together to tackle anti-social behaviour.
There is also an emphasis on enforcement and action; the police,
local authorities and other agencies will be expected to use their
full range of tools and powers to deal with anti-social behaviour.
Communities will also be encouraged to speak out and demand a
co-ordinated response to problems they are facing.
Residents debated the Respect agenda at the annual Residents'
Day in April 2007. There was a lively debate between residents and
the various agencies, and the Trust outlined how we would like to
work with residents to tackle anti-social behaviour and promote
respect within the community. Click the link below to find out some

communities and the Trust.
