Willenhall Local Neighbourhood Partnership (LNP) has called on the multi agency Community Action Tasking Group (CAT) to investigate anti social behaviour associated with the Linear Walkway which follows the route of the disused railway line near to Stroud Avenue, Willenhall reports Liberal Democrat councillor Ian Shires.
The move came after a group of residents from the area approached the LNP for help at its meeting last week. The residents told members of the LNP how they had approached the council and the Police for help but to date the problem remains unresolved.
“It appears that the Police and the council have each approached this problem in isolation” said LNP chair Ian Shires. ” As a result only the symptoms of the problem have been tackled.
“ By suggesting the multi agency approach, it is hoped to bring the combined efforts of the Police, The Youth Service, The Fire service and the Anti Social Behaviour Unit to bear on the problem in order to find a long lasting solution” said Ian.
The LNP will monitor the progress of the investigation in order to keep residents informed.
