Beechwood residents need support in anti-social fight

LOUTH County Council need to help residents in a local estate to combat anti-social behaviour in their area.

Local councillor Paul Bell has called on the council to support Beechwood residents in their fight to stop antisocial behaviour in the Council estate which is causing great anxiety for the community.

‘In response to several calls from distraught residents, I visited the area and witnessed the remains of fires set on the main the greenspace in the estate. The material was household and domestic waste which is deeply concerning. Residents also complain of youths riding scrambler cycles across the green area and around the estate. There has also been serious fire involving an abandoned vehicle in the estate,’ said Bell.

‘Having consulted with residents it is imperative that every effort is made by council and the gardai to get this ongoing situation under control. It’s about confidence and some of those involved in criminal and antisocial behaviour have already been identified. I appeal to those involved to stop and think of the stress and damage you are causing in your own community,’ he added.
