Is Birchwood's reputation fair? Hear from the locals who believe their community is on the up, despite being the ward with the highest number of open anti-social behaviour cases in the city.
Problems with anti-social behaviour have vastly improved in Lincoln's Birchwood area, residents say.
Mary York, 78, has lived in Birchwood for over four decades and insists that instances of anti-social behaviour are now few and far between. He continued:"It’s okay here, I’ve had my garage broken into and so has next door, but that was a few years ago now."Another resident, who wanted to remain anonymous, added:"You tend to see a few kids knocking about but you don’t see gangs or anything like that - or at least I don't."
"When you have concentrated social housing, what do people expect? There’s nothing that can be done, I think. I see the police driving around a fair bit just to make themselves known. Maybe we need more of that?"However, Valerie Heath says anti-social behaviour in the area is"awful". The 15 open council cases include eight instances related to noise disturbances, one related to pet and animal nuisances, and four instances of verbal abuse. An additional two cases remain unspecified.
