In recent weeks I have received a lot of complaints from residents regarding young people and anti-social behaviour around Ashton. The main hotspots seem to be:
1. Ashton Heath
2. The area around St. Oswalds school
3. Riding Lane Estate
At a meeting with the police yesterday myself and the other local councillors highlighted the problems mentioned above with a view to finding a solution to this problem.
The damage caused to the trees on Ashton Heath is particularly worrying.By general agreement the Heath has never looked better thanks to a group of volunteers who work constantly all year round to make the area look as good as it does now.It must be very discouraging for these volunteers to see their work being ruined by acts of vandalism.
As a local Councillor I feel it is my duty to help the residents group in the prevention of this damage. To this end I have called for a task group consisting of the police and other agencies to sort out this problem and hope to see results soon.
