The increase in vandalism in the Hollow Lane area is of real concern to the local residents and it seems to us that the council and police are not taking it seriously enough. Certainly CCTV cameras in Hollow Lane plus constructing bus shelters with vandal proof materials would make sense. The congregation of young people on Windmill Hill is also of strong concern with drinking swearing and lots of noise.

Litter is another concern with Hollow Lane and Mount Garrison looking like rubbish tips. No doubt the council tax will be way above inflation this year. Residents are entitled to ask whether we are getting value for money. I assume we will receive the same old excuses. The real blame should lay in poor local management in making sure the sub-contactors are doing their job properly.
