Labour's campaign team was knocking doors in Castlemilk this morning to gauge the mood of Glasgow South voters.

And the subject of youth anti-social behaviour was once again to the forefront of residents' minds.

Tom Harris, MP for Glasgow South, and Cathcart MSP Charlie Gordon (pictured above, left) joined Labour activists as they spoke to voters and distributed a Labour newsletter door-to-door.

Tom said: "It's important that Labour is seen campaigning in between elections as well as during nationwide campaigns. It's crucial that we don't take voters for granted, whichever the constituency.

"It's quite clear that anti-social behaviour remains a major concern for ordnary, decent folk who simply want to enjoy their homes and families without being harassed by youths drinking, taking drugs and causing a nuisance.

"Labour must continue to be entirely on the side of those families and work with communities, the police and the local authority to make sure people's quality of life is protected."

Tom said he was delighted by the positive response he and Charlie had received from voters on the doorstep.

"It's clear there is a concern that the government has been finding it difficult to engage with ordinary voters in the last few months, but there's also an understanding that some issues - like the credit crunch and the oil crisis - are outwith any government's control," added Tom.
