THE battle against anti-social behaviour has been delivered to the streets of Salford by Air Advertising.

Salford council has hired Chapel Street-based Air to mount a poster campaign aimed at raising awareness of the measures available through anti-social behaviour orders.

Air's campaign reveals that by phoning the `Together' phoneline, the people of Salford 'can take a stand against those who affect their lives, whether it be through noise nuisance, graffiti, fly-tipping or other types of behaviour that causes fear and distress or that which affects the appearance of their neighbourhood'.

The phoneline has been set up by the government to take reports of anti-social behaviour and enable them to respond quickly and effectively.

Air's brief involves creating a hard-hitting campaign that will be rolled out across 6-sheets, buses, posters and local press advertising.

Paul Barnes, managing and creative director with Air, said: 'It's great to be working closely with the council on tackling such important issues that affect all of us within Salford!'"
