Halesowen MP Sylvia Heal has praised two of the town's teenagers who stood up to anti-social behaviour.

Sisters Danielle and Joanne Bates, from the Youth4Em, visited London to receive their national Respect Awards for Taking a Stand.

The gong recognises individuals and groups who make a difference in their communities and winners receive £1,000 to spend on projects.

Sylvia said: "It is brilliant that out of 700 nominations two winners were selected from Halesowen."
