A project to stop nightmare neighbours from making people's lives a misery has been unveiled by the Government. A network of 53 Family Intervention Projects has been established to work with 1,500 problem families across England.
Workers will help with the worst disruptive parents and children in a bid to stop their bad behaviour.
It is hoped the move will stop children being taken into care and families evicted - as wellas improving the lives of long-suffering neighbours.

Experts say problem families can cost the taxpayer between £250,000 and £350,000 a year.
Family Intervention Projects provide a single key worker to 'grip' the family and challenge the root causes of their behaviour.
Louise Casey, the Government's co-ordinator for Respect, said: "These families can cause untold misery.
"In the past they may have been written off by agencies as 'lost causes' - but now will be offered the right help and incentive to become decent members of their community."

Yes, we'll see, and how do the worst ones get picked. I wonder?
I expect we all know of 'worst' ones that haven't even been picked up by the system and still cause mayhem. Maybe I'm just an old skeptic at heart ;)

I'm still waiting on Ms. Casey to reply to my letter and email of over a month ago. Somehow, I think, I will be waiting a long time....which is why I have started on John Reid instead ;)

P24.....it took Ms Casey a year to reply to NFHiB!! :lol:

her eventual results are on the front page of the site and she chose not to answer all the questions either :rolleyes:

I posted an update on my situation to her and the part about my homelessness and her reply Quote:Our focus is on nipping anti-social behavior in the bud by intervening with the perpetrators and protecting the community.If someone is forced to leave their home because of anti-social behaviour they are suffering we would consider that we and the local services that should be supporting them have failed.Unquote.
I also reminded her that my MP was her boss.

Something tells me she won't be replying, not now, not ever :lol:
