Our Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Team recently helped one family who were enduring anti-social behaviour outside of their home.
Our residents contacted us regarding the alleyway outside of their home which was being used by members of the public who were engaging in drug activity, which had been causing our residents stress for some time.
The resident who lived alone with her young daughter contacted us as they felt very unsafe both in and out of their home, as day to day activities became increasingly stressful.
Our Community Safety Officer Lee Dennehy contacted the resident to raise a visit to investigate the issue further. Upon the visit Lee discovered the alleyway by the resident’s home was a dead-end and not a public right of way, therefore after discussing options with the resident, they both agreed installing a gate would be the best solution.
Using our Estate Improvement Fund our repairs team installed a metal locking gate, in which only our residents had access to. Our residents were delighted with their new gate and now feel safer in their home and local area.
If you need to report ASB in your local area, please report it to us here.
