Background
The communal areas between Goldthorpe and The Marr are accessible from Camden Street, Bayham Street and Plender Street via Trimdon. In order to reduce the ASB in the area and improve the overall security on the estate, Curnock Street TRA decided in conjunction with Camden Council to lock the gates leading to the playground in front of Trimdon as well as engaging the Ground Maintenance for some planting.
Reasons
Anti-social behaviour, especially involving drug taking and dealing, and arguments in the communal areas are events that affect the residents lives. Non residents are using the communal areas for loitering, ASB and other activities that are not acceptable.
In conjunction with Camden Council, Curnock Street TRA has requested from the Ground Maintenance to help them to reduce ASB by planting such plants that will deter people for sitting on the communal areas or hide things.
