I attended the Yarnfield Police Tasking meeting last night. Encouragingly it seems that anti-social behaviour, while still an issue, has declined in the estate since the last meeting. Perhaps as a result fewer residents attended than normal. The police are giving a higher priority, and more rapid response, to anti-social behaviour, and it certainly seems to be paying off.

The priorities set for the coming month were:

1. Anti social behaviour – Mayfield Road
   Local residents have raised concerns that a group of youths are engaging in anti social behaviour and criminal damage in this area.
2. Inconsiderate parking – Wetherfield Road/Tyseley Lane
   It has been reported that vehicles are being parked in an inconsiderate manner on the pavement of Wetherfield Road and close to the junction on Tyseley Lane. This is creating a problem for people using wheelchairs or pushchairs and motorists pulling off their driveways.
