Eleven County Courts Pilot New ASBO Scheme
DCA Press Release
2 October 2006
Bradford county court is one of 11 courts taking part in a
yearlong pilot scheme to improve the flow of information between
agencies involved in anti social behaviour cases. The pilot,
launched today by Constitutional Affairs minister Rt Hon Harriet
Harman QC MP, will make sure that the civil courts get the
information they need to ensure the smooth progress of anti
social behaviour cases. The county court scheme is part of the
Respect Action Plan announced in January 2006 which sets out how
the Government intends to tackle the causes of anti social
behaviour.
A new anti-social behaviour co-ordinator will act as the main
point of contact between the parties and the court and identify
where and how communication can be strengthened, or where more
training or information needs to be given.
The other courts are Lambeth, Central London, Bow, Nottingham,
Bristol, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds and Hull.
