Liverpool FC Back Anti-Social Behaviour Blitz In West Derby

A blitz on anti-social behaviour has won backing from Liverpool FC.

The council’s latest Respect week will focus on Yew Tree ward, in West Derby, which includes the Reds’ Melwood training ground.

Club representatives will be meeting some of the agencies involved to show their support for the week.

The scheme, which starts on Monday, will tackle problems such as crime and anti-social behaviour and look at improving job opportunities, the environment and healthier lifestyles.

The week will be launched with a planting scheme in Ackers Hall Avenue.

Other highlights will include a lantern-making workshop for six to 12-year-olds at Mab Lane woodlands on Monday from 3pm to 6pm.

Cllr Ann O’Byrne, cabinet member for community safety, said: “Respect weeks are aimed at all parts of the community so it is great Liverpool FC are supporting it.

“But even if you are a Blue or have no interest in football then the week should still appeal to you. There is a whole range of activities taking place.”
