“Through continued partnership working with the Police and other agencies, improvements have already been made with plans in place for other initiatives and further days of action in the area.”

Officers spoke to residents about problems in the area and what they can do to help improvelife on the estate.

Housing Officers conducted inspections at five properties , and police officers visited a number of addresses in connection to ongoing enquiries regarding a known ‘troublemaker’ in the area.

During the day, three properties were identified as having excess waste outside, one property was found to have a by-passed electric meter, and police officers visited 13 addresses known to be frequented by a criminal who was subsequently arrested over the weekend.
