Residents and shopkeepers alike are sick to the back teeth with problems at the rear of shops on Heywood Road and Penryhn Drive.

There have been a spate of anti-social behaviour incidents in recent weeks and well publicised graffitti  incidents. Last thursday was the final straw for some residents however when garages at the rear of the shops were broken into.

“I will be working closely with the local Police to ensure this hotspot gets plenty of attention over the coming weeks. It is appalling that residents and shop keepers are living in fear of gangs of youths and intruders breaking into property. It is wholly unacceptable and I will be doing all I can to ensure this problem is dealt with.”
