LIBERAL Democrat Councillors in Whickham North ward of Gateshead are leading a battle to end anti social behaviour on the Rectory and Glebe estates of Whickham.
Recent outbreaks have led to a number of calls to Councillors Peter Craig, Chris Ord and Mary Wallace from anxious residents.
“These latest incidents involved school aged children in the afternoon.” said Councillor Peter Craig. "Youths have been running in and out of gardens, ruining plants and hedges, dropping rubbish, leaving graffiti and being abusive to residents.
"We are working with the Community Beat Officer Team, local schools and Gateshead Council Officers to address these issues.
"As a result, police in plain clothes have patrolled the area and interviewed some young people along with their parents. In the longer term we are all working together on an action plan to tackle anti-social behaviour in the area.”
