Willenhall Neighbourhood Partnership (LNP) has asked the all partner action group, ”Community Action Tasking” (CAT) to look in depth at the anti social behaviour associated with a children’s play area in Brereton Road, Forest Gate, New Invention.
The LNP took this action in response to a deputation of local residents who came to Wednesday’s meeting asking for help to resolve what has become a long standing problem caused by groups of teenagers who use the equipement into the early hours for late night drinking sessions.
Members of the LNP heard how loud mouthed, foul mouthed behaviour from youths deteriorated further into abuse and attacks on property.
Walsall Council has spent a great deal of money to give local children of primary school age a place to play in safety. The reality is that in the evenings gangs of young people take over and make local residents lives a living hell.
Up to now the problem has been tackled in isolation by the police, the council and the fire service. By referring the issue to the CAT all agencies can pool their resources and act more effectively together with residents and the young people themselves to resolve this long standing problem.
Willenhall LNP will monitor progress.
