A BUMPER £40,000 cash chest to tackle anti-social behaviour on the streets of Renfrewshire has been welcomed.
Bill Wilson MSP, who represents the West of Scotland region for the SNP, has said the cash boost for Community Safety Partnerships is good news for families across Renfrewshire.
Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill has made an additional £1million available to make towns and cities safer, of which £40,000 will be spent in the Paisley area.
The money will be used to fund a new anti-violence campaign, as well as for initiatives such as high-visibility policing in problem areas, late-night taxi marshalling schemes and ‘safe zones.’
Dr Wilson said: “This is good news for Renfrewshire, which should be welcomed by everyone.
“As in many areas in Scotland, the problem of anti-social behaviour, particularly alcohol-fuelled violence, needs to be tackled here head-on.
“These schemes launched by the Scottish Government send the message that this type of behaviour is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.”
