Blackburn with darwen + burnley have been selected as a "respect" area

i thought hyndburn wud b up there too tbh...

The government has announced 40 "respect zones" in England which will receive extra funding to fight anti-social behaviour. They will provide parenting classes, meetings between police and the public and "intervention projects", to tackle so-called "neighbours from hell".
Prime Minister Tony Blair said that "nothing works" if communities are not involved in fighting crime.
But the Tories dismissed the zones, which will get £6m, as a "gimmick".
