The fight to tackle anti-social behaviour by problem families in Tendring has been boosted by £25,000.
It is hoped a further £25,000 will be pumped into targeting the battle in 2006/7.
The money has come from the Government as part of its initiative to improve the quality of life for neighbours of the families who cause distress and nuisance.
The money will also be helping the problem families themselves.
The Anti-Social Behaviour Unit wants to support schemes which bring about a change among perpetrators through intensive intervention, supervision and support to tackle the underlying problems.
Terry Allen, executive leader of Tendring Council, said it was invited to apply for funding a couple of weeks ago and he has now heard it has been successful.
"We will be looking to set up a parent and family support project with the cash, which is welcome in the ongoing fight against anti-social behaviour," he said.
