ANTI-SOCIAL behaviour is reaching serious levels in Swindon.

The symptoms can be seen in this newspaper today.

There are tales about vandalism and abusive behaviour, and people who are being forced to live with it are united in their call for it to stop.

Of course, dealing with those who show no respect for the law is not always easy, but there are solutions open to the authorities.

Police, the council and other agencies are already working together in Swindon to pursue the people whose activities demonstrate a general lack of respect for others.

So far, only one anti-social behaviour order has been prosecuted in this town, but there will be others.

And when they arise, we will be there to tell you about them, because it is your right to know who these individuals are.
