Litter
FOPA are working with the council and local residents to reduce unsightly litter and ensure that all rubbish is bagged and only put out on collection days!
Antisocial Behavour
FOPA met with the police in May 2007 to discuss problems caused by crowds of teenagers congregating in the squares particularly on Friday and Saturday nights. The police have stepped up patrols and the situation has improved. The police attended our last general meeting and confirmed that they will continue to monitor the situation and work with residents, schools and parents to improve matters.
