Yobs facing two years jail over 'respect orders'

Labour bid to reclaim streets

- SOPHIE HUSKISSON

LABOUR wants to stamp out yobbery with tough new rules.

Flouting proposed Respect Orders could mean two years jail.

Keir Starmer said anti-social antics often wreck communities and leave families living in fear.

He said the new orders are "about restoring respect for each other and for our society", adding: "It's time to take back our streets."

Offenders will face bans from town centres or from drinking in public spots such as high streets and local parks.
