 The task force will target vandalism |
More street wardens and a hotline to report anti-social behaviour will be introduced in Telford. The Crime and Nuisance Task Force was launched on Friday and aims to target litter, anti-social behaviour, graffiti, abandoned cars and dog-fouling.
Made up of representatives from Telford and Wrekin Council, the task force will work with the police to help prosecute more people for dropping litter and fly-tipping.
Five street wardens funded by Wrekin Housing Trust will be introduced to help target anti-social behaviour.
Leader of the council, Phil Davis, said crime and nuisance affected everyone in some way.
"We don't want abandoned cars left on our streets and those people who drop litter or let their dogs foul the pavements should be held accountable," he said.
"This initiative will raise awareness of the problem and highlight that they can no longer get away with it."
