Issue - meetings

            It was noted that the petitioners made reference to a recent meeting that had taken place between representatives of the Council, the Police and local residents.  Discussions had taken place at that meeting about efforts that were being made to deter and prevent the anti-social behaviour in the area and the petition presented details of the type of experiences local residents had witnessed.

            Members were advised on action that had or would be undertaken by the Council and its partners in order to ensure that such incidents were avoided in the future.  The Ward Members were aware of the issues involved and had been working with the residents and police to address the issue identified by the petitioners.

            The Board discussed incidents of Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) in other areas and were advised that in order for appropriate action to be taken residents needed to report such behaviour and keep a record of such incidents.

            RESOLVED: The petition be noted.
