Authorities are working together to bring down crime on the estate
People living on a Mansfield estate where firefighters have been attacked with golf balls fear new money to tackle the area's anti-social behaviour is a "drop in the ocean". Authorities including Nottinghamshire Police and Mansfield District Council are working together to bring down crime on the Oak Tree Lane estate.
Oak Tree has been designated as a priority neighbourhood by Mansfield District Council, which has therefore decided to spend the new funding to reduce crime on the estate. Bike security events and CCTV are among the measures being taken, with a formal action plan being delivered between now and March.
One 40-year-old resident living near the estate, who did not want to be named given his previous work in the police, said: "That amount of money does seem a bit of a token gesture. These events will offer free locks and anti-theft kits, whilst outreach work will also take place with schools and community groups. Meanwhile, the council plans to install a CCTV camera at the edge of Oak Tree's heathland and in the near future, fire engines will carry adverts specific to the Oak Tree Lane Estate.
"I think they get a lot more problems at Bellamy Road as well to be honest. I think it's good news that they are trying something."
