This was very well received and informative regarding ASB issues. There are 2 problem Solving Plans (PSP's) in the St Marys / Town area. these have been created to combat current ASB issues. In april a PSP was set in the Chestnut Drive area to combat reports of ASB in and round the park near to Rowan Way. High visibility patrols will be increased in this area.
