TOO many people living in south London know about the problems caused by anti-social behaviour.

So I was pleased to see Home Secretary, David Blunkett MP, in Kennington this week to launch a crackdown on the thugs who make decent people's lives a misery.

Mr Blunkett promised heavy fines for abusive yobs and said he will give cops the power to shut down crack houses within 48 hours of them being reported. We all know that sometimes within hours of a raid the dealers have broken back in and are at it again.

Let's hope these new measures close down these drug dens once and for all.
