<p>Home Secretary Theresa May has issued a &#8220;call to action&#8221; for community activists to tackle neighbourhood problems alongside frontline services.</p>
<p>Baroness Newlove will promote &#8220;the active part people can play, alongside the frontline, in tackling the problems that matter most in their neighbourhoods&#8221;, Mrs May said.</p>
<p>The widow of murdered father-of-three Garry Newlove has a new role as the Government&#8217;s champion for active, safer communities.</p>
<p>The move follows Monday&#8217;s announcement that police budget cuts mean the Greater Manchester force will shrink by almost a quarter as it sheds nearly 3,000 posts over the next four years, including the loss of more than 300 officers by 2012.</p>
<p>Mrs May has said the Government&#8217;s approach to tackling anti-social behaviour must be turned on its head, with strong community action being used to bring back a sense of personal and social responsibility and to make anti-social behaviour &#8220;unusual, abnormal and something to stand up to&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;Antisocial behaviour ruins lives and scars communities &#8211; for too long it has been sidelined and communities have been let down,&#8221; Mrs May said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Baroness Newlove will be championing the active part people can play, alongside the frontline, in tackling the problems that matter most in their neighbourhoods.&#8221;</p>
<p>Lady Newlove, who was made a Tory peer earlier this year, has been a forceful campaigner against anti-social behaviour since her husband&#8217;s death following an attack by a gang of teenagers who were vandalising his car in August 2007.</p>
<p>She will visit projects across the UK to meet people who have helped make a difference in their area in a bid to find out &#8220;what works and what the barriers are to successful community activism&#8221;, the Home Office said.</p>
<p>She will also use a new blog to share her experiences, highlight areas of innovation and challenges before reporting back to ministers next year.</p>
