What should we focus on?
Motorbike Nuisance
Motorbike nuisance is a problem in the area, and can cause residents to feel intimidated.
Dog Foul
Dog fouling is a problem in the area where owners refuse to pick up after their pets.
Litter and Fly-Tipping
Fly-tipping and litter is a problem in the area.
Anti-Social Behaviour
Drug dealing and use is a problem in the area. This can attract noise nuisance too.
Communal Areas
Planting in the communal areas would be a great way to brighten spaces and add colour.
